Notes

Gonna try and finish this by Saturday. :-) Go ahead…laugh out loud!

--Alternating skeins
--Each chart repeat = 6”
--Ysolda Teague’s Long Tail Tubular Cast On
--Did Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off using a US7
--Ended on row 19 of chart
--No pockets

Just a note about the armholes. For the size I knit, the armhole would measure 9” around. I only seamed 10.5” up from cast on edge to increase my circumference to 10”. I still felt that was a little snug. It fit my mom just fine, though. Also, if you shorten or lengthen this garment, it will effect how long or short your sleeves will be.

11/10/12 - Made it! I was finishing the last cuff minutes before the gifting! I love it! I’m sad to let this one go. My mom loves it, too. :-) I used every last bit of the 4 skeins!

11/08/12 - Almost finished with the ribbing. I need to find a good 2x2 bind off.

11/07/12 - I was able to power thru a good chunk of this. I have just over 3 repeats, about 20 inches done.

11/06/12 - 11” knit up in one day. So far so good. A little more than half done with the second chart repeat. Still working off of the first 2 skeins.
