Notes

My review of this yarn is here.

I saw that namoriwesa had test knit in the same yarn.

5/11/2018 - this is turning out to be an endless sweater. Making the XL size because the swatch shrank. With the big lace collar and overlapping sides, it feels like knitting two sweaters. I’ve got about 5” more to go on the body!

5/18/2018 - finally finished the body - used 193 gr

5/21/2018 - took a couple of days break ybecause this sweater feels like an endless knit. Last night, began armholes using formula by Vera Sanon (Sunfunliving) in her workshop materials on top-down sweaters for afterthought sleeves - came out only 3 stitches different from the actual pattern - yay me!

Half-way through the first sleeve with 8.5’ done. Finally feeling like I can see the end here. Although that’s scary because the gauge changes so much with washing that it looks like a tent, but hopefully will be a comfy size for the new mom.

5/23/2018 - 1st sleeve done. Hard to figure out how to make 3/4 sleeve length. Thsisi going to end up bracelet length I think. Oh well!
