Picked out awesome yarn today!
Time to swatch!

Gauge is good!

05-16-2018

Casted on and got about an inch done!

05-23-2018

Worked on this tonight for the first time since last Wednesday (the 16th). I got distracted by my green apple pie hat. Made good progress though and my next row is when I cast on some more stitches and join to start working in the round!

05-24-2018

Did a couple rows in the round tonight.

05-28-2018

5 inches and ready to start striping!

All other sections of color should be about 4 inches according to the math.

Whoops. Have 54 stitches for the sleeve, and I was only supposed to go to 52.

Oh well. Moving into section three.

I am LOVING how this fading is starting out!

05-29-2018

Currently have 60 stitches per sleeve. Oh wait the other has 58 stitches.

92 for the back.
91 for the front?

Gotta even that up, but almost done with section 3!
And almost done with my first striping section. But I think I did two rows of the same color last night….whoops. Oh well!

05-30-2018

Counting again, just to be sure:
60 stitches for the first sleeve.
91 stitches for the back.
58 stitches for the second sleeve.
91 stitches for the front.

Increased the second sleeve on one of the body increase rounds to even it up.

62 stitches for the first sleeve.
95 for the back.
62 for the second sleeve.
95 for the front.

Need to do rnd 1, rnd 2, rnd 1, rnd 2 in section three.
Then I should be at 64 stitches per sleeve, and 101 stitches per front and back.

05-31-2018

Tonight did rnd 1,rnd 2.

Tomorrow need to do that once more and then I should be done with section 3.

06-01-2018

Did that. 64, 101, 64, 101 stitches.
Now do rnd 1 once more.
Then onto SEPARATING THE SLEEVES! (Section 4)

06-02-2018

We’re joined and in the round!

06-06-2018

Tried it on and it fits so far! Excellent! Should be no sizing issues from here, just knit straight!

06-15-2018

Currently an inch and a half into the third color.

07-15-2018

Switched to size 4 needles to start the ribbing!

07-17-2018

stretchy bind off

07-19-2018

Finished the decreases. Going to start fading next.

07-29-2018

Got to the color change on the second sleeve, so now they’re the same and I’m ready to try this two at a time game.

08-04-2018

The sleeves are to my elbows!

08-08-2018

Nearly ready to transition to the last colors. Will probably go back to one at a time for the fading.

08-14-2018

ANother inch until I can start the sleeve ribbing.

08-21-2018

Ready to start the ribbing on the sleeves!

Done. Just have the color left! And weaving in ends of course…

08-23-2018

Went down to size 4 needles for the collar

I should have used a stretchier bind off for the sleeves.
Gonna use it for the collar.

Done! Just weaving in ends!

08-24-2018
