2010-10_23 Gauge: 5 st per inch, 5 rows per inch on size 8. Going to try to convert this bottom up pattern into a top down. Ha!

2010_10_23 Measured how much of a neck opening I wanted and CO 80 using the backwards loop CO; 26 sts for the front and back, 14 sts for the sleeves. 4 rounds of k2p2 rib.

Using LisbethK’s Global Warming notes, I did the neck shaping similar. Which, I think is the same as the pattern.

Row 5: knit
Row 6: k 26 back, k 7 sleeve, w&t
Row 7: p 7 sleeve, p 26 back, p 7 sleeve, w&t
Row 8: k 7 sleeve, k 26 back, k 14 sleeve, w&t
Row 9: p 14 sleeve p 26 back, p 14 sleeve, w&t
Row 10: knit to end of round marker

Row 11: raglan increases: I’m doing m1r, k, sm, m1l at each raglan marker

Row 12: knit

Repeat rows 11 and 12 3 more times (4 total increase rounds)

Puffed sleeve increases:
Increased each sleeve by 10 sts (k1m1) using kf&b. Also knit raglan increases this round as welll. Direction of knitting is left sleeve back, back, right sleeve, front, left sleeve front. End of round.

Knit next round.

Increased each sleeve by m1 (kf&b) x 11, k 5, m1 (kf&b) x 11 while also doing the raglan increases.

Knit next round.

Increased each sleeve

2010_11_9 Finished the body and one sleeve. Its late. Other sleeve will wait.
