Notes

Size 4’s (blocked): 23 sts to 4”, 9 rows to 1”

07-06-2016

The stitch markers from NNK were so perfect for this project- I’m having the best time.

Used the 5’s for sleeves and the gauge was still tight- the sleeves are small by a half inch, but I’m pretty certain they’ll loosen up enough with blocking. Attaching the sleeves was thrilling! It was my first time knitting a yoked top.

07-09-2016

Switched buttonhole side for band. Using about 3/4” Purple Lilac wood buttons from favourvalley.com and a 5 stitch one-row buttonhole.

So glad I added the extra inch to the sleeves and body- just barely made it to 600 yards for Camp!
