Notes

7-24-2022: Love Raveler mntwmnesq’s colorway so I’m trying to match it best I can.
Trying two-sleeves-at-a-time in the round by first knitting cuffs individually, then joining using two steeks.
7-31-2022: sleeves are off the 24” circ needles and ready for sewing & steek cuts. The red and green stitch holders are holding the underarm stitches. Now I have two sleeves completed at once.
8-3-2022: Simplified the lower body colorwork pattern because I didn’t want it to be so deep.
8-6-2022: joined sleeves to body - it’s beginning to take shape.
8-10-2022: Finished knitting sweater. Grafted the underarm stitches, soaked in SOAK and drying. When dry, will sew and cut steek, pick up and knit button bands, and sew on buttons for the final finish.
