12/26/2014 CO 216 for body

1/4/2015 The body section is really straightforward: a 16-row repeat using the cable needle on rounds 1 & 9 only, and knitting the remaining rounds. Aside from there being a lot of stitches in a round, I think this should come together fairly quickly compared to my last project (a more intricate Aran sweater with cables galore).

1/22/2015 I’ve made steady progress, but sadly need to take a complete break from knitting for about a month due to tendinitis in my wrist. This project will need to “hibernate” for a while :(

3/17/2015 I received doctor’s approval to resume knitting so this project is now coming out of hibernation. Hurray!

4/4/2015 I’ve knit the first 12” of the body (bottom up) and am ready to divide to knit the upper back and front.

4/19/2015 Finished the upper back section and began knitting the upper front.

4/26/2015 Good progress on upper front; now ready to divide for neck section.

5/3/2015 Front, shoulder seams, and neck complete.

5/9/2015 Finshed and blocked! It fits pretty well although it’s a bit shorter than I would like. It rides just at the waist and cannot be tucked in or extended over the waistband. The yarn is very soft and comfortable.
