Notes

So this is the “San Jose Sharks Letterman” jacket re-worked. I detached the arms and unraveled the body pieces, and decided I wanted a cropped pullover.
What I changed:
* I knitted the body in-the-round until
the armholes (I used one of my
favorite crop tops to get the body
length that I desired) Then I had to
continue by knitting through the
back loop to get a cohesive look.
* I made myself a chart for the ‘C’
since I had a difficult time with
the original patterns directions of
embroidering a letter post-knit.
* I used the collar style of the Fox
Pullover pattern from the same Vogue
Knitting issue (Early Fall 2013).
However, I was hoping to do the same
striping of the cuffs, but I could not
find the same teal yarn to match,
since it has been a couple years that
I knitted the original jacket.

Overall, I am thrilled with the changes.
