Notes

Finished Sizes- meant to be worn with approximately 1” negative ease.
I used one size smaller needles for all parts.

Finally reaching the point of dividing sleeve! Honeycomb stitches on the back panel is pretty, but it requires lots of my patience!

Another technique: Left Cross & Right Cross

Moving on to the hem.

03-06-2016

Finished the hem! I used three yarn balls so far. The next is the edge, and I need to pick stitches (mine will be 328 stitches!) to start…

Finally, finally, finally finished edging! Oh boy, it was, again, a long knitting and binding. For edging, I used 2 1/4 yarn balls. While I was knitting the back panel, I started wondering if I was really going to use all yarns. Of course the instruction was right! I have 3 3/4 balls left for two sleeves, and it looks just about enough to finish it up.

Oops, I found that I made an error in the back panel pattern. It’s too late to fix it at this point… oh, well! It is very close to the bottom, so I hope it will blend in…

I finally finished sleeves, and it is done! I’ll block it on the next weekend.
