Notes

I need a quick, colorful fix for my girl -- stripes!

8/21/16: Knitting is done, but re-working the sleeves. Body was knit on straight needles, sleeves on DPNs… and the difference in gauge is VAST. Knitting them over on US 9s and looking much better!

9/19/16: The perfect ladybug buttons from tantesophie!
