2-13-19 - all done and in the mail. love how it turned out and that the yarn laundered so beautifully. looking back at my Feb 1 note, I did get the collar started on the 3rd and it took me until the 8th to get it all finished!
2-1-19 - finished the body last weekend (wow! the tubular bindoff looks so good!) and started the first sleeve. finished that on Thursday and started sleeve #2. I’m almost to the halfway point … I might be knitting the collar before the weekend is up!
1-23-19 - cruising along on the body - joined the 5th ball a few rows back - now on row 60 (since the underarm split) - the right-side rows take a while, but the WS ones are quick! LOVE the cable detail on the side!
1-15-19 - what a nice knit! joined the 2nd ball … just finished row 40 - should be getting to the sleeve separation soon
1-11-19 - drive-by swatching … and woot - looks like I’ll be using size 7 needles!
Mods/Notes -
1. I shortened the cuffs a little - about 2-1/2” before/after the turning round.
-
I worked an SSK decrease on both sides of the pocket decreases (instead of an SSK on one side and K2Tog on the other).
-
I measured the pocket with the collar folded about in half and worked to the bigger reverse stockinette section (the one that separates the cable and the back).
-
I worked the sewn bindoff for the collar after working both pockets. No real reason except that I wanted to have the knitting done before I did it.
