Notes

Using both yarns knitted together.
Have not enjoyed the contiguous method, its interesting and clever, but so much effort to avoid some seams, back and forth, all those short rows and increases, blah!
When knitting this section I find I can not have anyone talking to me, asking me anything or interrupting my train of concentration in any way, first attempt saw my stitch count incorrect and I had to start the shoulder section again after frogging it back to the start.
I also wrote my stitch count down for each of the 5 repeats so I could double check I had completed them correctly.
Completed sweater looks lovely, although I like the reverse side better than the actual right side. The pattern can be a little confusing at times, probably me not used to the way the instructions were written.
In the end I think, for me, knitting it in pieces would have been quicker and easier as I don’t mind sewing up.
