Notes

At long last the yarn I purchased in Shetland last year to knit Annie’s sweater is starting to run out, and I’m having to dip into stash to finish the sleeves of Andromeda’s. But that’s what stash is for--and I’m very excited for the Winters to have their first matching knitwear as a family of four!

Arg! I had two different lots of 125 in stash, but both were MUCH brighter than the skeins I’d purchased in Shetland for this project, so I subbed Spindrift Ginger instead, which is a bit of a closer match. I don’t think it’s too noticeable…
