Notes

Using old sirdar boucle yarn re-purposed from a cardigan I made in the ‘80’s.The fair isle will be in dk for lilac and green and sport for denim blue. Not sure yet if I’ll go for long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves or any sleeves!!
I’m using 5mm needles to open up the fabric further - aiming for a loose fitting, airy, style.

25/2/17/ first full pattern repeat completed, measures 7’’ (above the rib) may not need to do 4 rep’s - measure again after 2nd rep.
Pattern is nice,chart is easy to follow and lace section is very easy to remember :)
Back completed and front underway. I added a 4 row seed stitch section after row 14 on the second and third repeat to help lengthen it to tunic style. I didn’t do the last Waves and Crosses design at the neck, I wanted just the cream at the top and I changed the short row shoulder shaping to a standard finish.
Front completed today May 12th 2018 after a long lay off!!
CO for a short(ish) sleeve, will see how it goes.
Sleeves done and neck finished with single rib, it fits well and I’m happy with it yay! smile
Thanks go to Blacker Swan Yarn and Amanda Jones for designing such a lovely and well written pattern.
