Notes

Using BFF’s yarn since the sweater is for him.

Fraternal triplet cake weighs 249g. Used for swatching, sleeves, and whatever I cannot use for the collar/bands/cuffs.

Identical triplet cake A weighs 253g. Worked 185g for entire back and 68g of left front (after ribbing up to armholes).

Identical triplet cake B weighs 250g. Will be used for the fronts and sleeves.

Divination Zodiac OWL proposed.

June 25, 2018

Back completed in 2 weeks. 185g used out of 253g of Cake A.

The left front is taking a bit. Besides having other test knits and work projects to do, it looks like the front cable instructions should have been done simultaneously with the armholes. There is no schematic or any measurements to help assure I am on the correct path.

June 27, 2018

I figured out that I misread the pattern instructions, and frogged back 3 inches. Now to knit the right front and the sleeves, block all the pieces, seam, and add the zipper by July 31st. Hoo boy.

Note about the pattern download from LBY’s website: there are no charts or schematics, and a couple of typos might confuse inexperienced pattern knitters.

OWL 50% Midterm

After gathering up courage to seam this cardigan, the left shoulder is done.

Oh my gosh, I seamed a shoulder!
