CO for medium size (40”). Started stockinette after 11 rows (~2”) ribbing.

The back used 1.5 skeins (all of skein 1, half of skein 2).

Happily starting on the right front, when… wtf the fuck? Cables on row 2? what?? (My first time seeing wrong-row side cables O_O)

One repeat + ribbing gets me 5 3/4”, and a repeat is 4”, so theoretically it should be 4 repeats total + ribbing per side to get to the increases.

For right side:

• Started increases on 5th repeat, row 1.
• Started shoulder shaping on 6th repeat, row 19.

Used .75 skein of skein 3.

For left side:

• Started increases on 5th repeat, row 2.
• Started shoulder shaping on 6th repeat, row 19.

Used up remainders of skein 2 and most of 3.

I got distracted and the sleeves wound up all the way to my wrists instead of halfway. It’s cute though so I’ll keep it that way.

Sleeve 1 used up the rest of skein 3; skein 4 got me the rest of the way and so far about halfway through Sleeve 2. Fortunately it looks like I should have almost an entire skein to use for the button band.

Done!!!

Used 6s to do the button band and 8s to bond off.

I started the short rows at 100 stitches from the bottom on each side, so that they went out to 74 stitches from the bottom.

Managed to do all of the rows and bind off with not even enough yarn left over to do one more--a successful game of yarn chicken!
