Notes

think i’ll make the body alpaca, the sleeves in the cotton/linen/silk blend… pic from pattern, not mine.

01-11-2017

continuing to think while knitting the fronts. decided i’ll add in the cotton/linen/silk in alternate rideges in the fronts, then completely in the sleeves.

01-14-2017

found a sample of aloft that knitpicks sent that will work perfectly. final decision: aplaca for the center of the fronts, working in cotton/linen/silk/mohair halfway in alternate rows with alpaca across fronts and down the back, becoming all cotton/linen/silk/for sleeves. i think.

01-15-2017

finally got to the interesting parts! since this run both ways, picture shows the bottom and edge of one front…

01-21-2017

changing it up. leaving the texture rows as 1/3 of the fronts, adding in a different colorway of the alpaca sox. stashbuster after all?

02-17-2017

still plugging away. fronts and halfway down the back piece…

03-02-2017

decided to reverse the sleeves to top down and pick up with us2 on st at the end of each row until 66sts. switch back to us3, then 22 garter ridges, switch to all azales, 11 ridges to bindoff.

03-06-2017

second sleeve went in much better. which means, of course, ripping and redoing the first one…

03-15-2017

all done but for the origami finishing.
