Notes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQYZhs5089s for Roxanne Richardson’s M1R, M1L, M1R p, M1L p
Roxanne talks about the M1Rp and M1Lp and they are not the same as in this pattern.

I needed help with figuring out the yarnover short rows.

Wish I had done this, but too far in ;( . Will do next time.

Got through all of the increases okay. Unfortunately, there is not enough contrast between the pink and the white yarn and I am going to have to change things up. My guess is that I will be using only 2 colors instead of 3.

03/30/25 Knitted motif on size 9 needles. Finished the motif

04/10/25 Finished to 10 inches below the armhole on the body.
04/14/25 Almost done with the bottom ribbing.
04/15/25 Finished the main body. I didn’t like the tubular bind off. I have used it before, but with the 4 row set up. The one row is not as stretchy and I can’t really see the reason for it. Very fiddly for 200 stitches. Next time use regular bind off. Main body fit is good. Started sleeves on DPNs .

04/19/25 Finished first sleeve using size 9 DPNs. The sleeve is a little snug as my arm measures 14 inches around until the elbow. No decreases. 16 inches regular knitting and 3 inches of 1x1 rib finished with regular bind off. I have long arms.
04/22/25 Finished second sleeve.
04/24/25 12 rows of pink ribbing and 2 rows at the end of purple ribbing. Invisible bind off used on collar.
There is some puckering after the finish of the increases at the yoke. I am hoping blocking will ease them out.
