1.18 - Body completed, tried on - ginormous!!! Frogged the whole thing.

1.19 - restarted smaller size, almost finished with yoke

1.22 - not too happy with the look of my nupps as written in pattern…think I’ll frog back and re-do using the YO method instead of KFB. Use crochet hook 3.5mm!!!

1.24 - SO happy I tinked back and redid those nupps! Body finished (again) and ready to begin sleeve island.

1.25 - first long sleeve figured out (added lifelines just in case), just need to make cuff as per pattern now

1.26 - 2nd sleeve finished! Onto buttonband…

1.27 - picked up every 2 of 3 sts for buttonband for 94sts total. Just waiting on the vintage glass buttons to arrive so I can place buttonholes!

2.1. Buttons arrived and placement decided. Sweater finished & just needs blocking!!!
