Notes

Third in a series--while CJ's sweater just about fit Andromeda this summer, she obviously needs her own, big girl sized version!

Whoops! I got up to the neck shaping and decided to compare my plans to the sweater I’d knit CJ, only to note that the circumference was exactly the same as CJ’s sweater. Clearly that won’t fit the brief for Andromeda’s sweater, so I’m going to rip back to two repeats and turn this into Lucy’s cowl… since she’s mostly been dragooned into having something with this pattern to match the rest of the family I don’t think the size will be an issue.
