Notes

CO: German Twisted/Old Norwegian CO.
first time: Magic Loop (I usually use 2 circulars) - I like it!

Plan: I’m going to knit a few Flaxes in baby/newborn sizes with KP(P)M and Holst Supersoft since I wanted to test the yarn and the outcome of the colors - and as a gauge reference…
There are going to be a few newborns coming next spring, so there is plenty of time, no need to hurry and probably I’m going to knit other things parallel too =)

11.9.: trying not to knit too tight; alternating 2 skeins, but have to keep change of thread more loose!
Seperated sleeves. Probably going to rip it and start all over again but with smaller size due to limited amount of yarn (but first I knit a few more rounds to check my gauge).


01/23: found project again while sorting my stash, resume knitting. Going to keep alternating skeins every round.
Arms with just one skein.

BO: Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy BO.
