Notes

Gauge: My gauge loosened up and since my hands suffer from carpal tunnel, I ended up using 2.75mm (US2) needles to finish the body.


September 12th, 2014:
BROOM proposed. I plan on using a non-listed stash ball as the color for the rabbits.

October 11th, 2014:
Finally cast on but am a bit bugged because I do not have a 3mm 16-inch circular needle in my arsenal. Am using 2 circulars for the initial rounds.

November 16th, 2014:
I was only able to finish 25 percent. But that’s better than nothing, right?

April 16th, 2015:
I had put this WIP into timeout after dropping a few stitches in the yoke, I finally have been able to pick the dropped stitches. I knitted a few rounds of the body (until I ran out of yarn) and then knit the first sleeve. Stitches for the second sleeve have been picked up and I hope to finish this pullover by winter. So far it seems knitting up the 2-3yr size will be perfect for this upcoming fall/winter.

November 16th, 2015:
For months now this WIP has been sitting on my bedside table as a reminder that I needed to finish the 2nd sleeve and the body. The sleeve finished in a flash. The body was a different story for me. Though in the round the stockinette seemed to take forever. When my daughter came down with a bug last week, I grabbed the sweater, finished it, and managed to slip the pullover on her for a photo. She fought when I put it on her, but then refused to take it off. I see that as a good sign!

November 20th, 2015:
Buttons added, loose stitches tightened/darned, and sweater fully blocked! We both wore our matching sweaters to knit night.

November 30th, 2015:
Turned in for Detention November 2015.

I’m a wee bit excited at being nominated!
