Notes

Done just need buttons.

  • working 14 rows of main color between the colorwork sections. Kat is tall and I wanted her to have a longer sweater.

  • after starting over a second time because the size wasn’t right, third time is the charm and I LOVE how it’s turning out. :D Happy with my change of heart to put blue there instead or gray. :D Will start working in the round on the next colorwork section.

7-20-16 started this using a top down raglan then I noticed little pink flecks in my skein of antler. so this gave me the opportunity to change up the construction as I wasn’t really happy with it anyways. started over with a new skein, using contiguous shaping from Blue Sands Cardigan. now I think I like it. just separated sleeves

Using Antler, Thunderstorm and blue from a gradient kit.
Going to customize this for top down. My friend has a 40 chest and a 46 hip. so I think it’s way easier to make a try on as you go sweater. will have to do some mods for hip sizing. will start with 2 inches of ease at the bust and will increase to -1 inch of ease at the hips. so up 3 inches. hope that will work.

She is also very tall, which means I will have to add some length to the sweater.
