Notes

August 6, 2022

With US 3 needles and size 36 got to sleeve separation and it is way too small. Gauge actually 27 stitches to 4 inches (even tighter than swatch) so had to cut my losses and frog. I started again with US 4 but the fabric is too loose, so starting again with US 3 and knitting size 40.
