Notes

My inspiration was the worn turquoise picture. I want to use little girls sweater as pattern with 6 colors and hem/arm details. Using this site to help custom fit it to my gauge and size http://prjonamunstur.is/#/Design (newer PC’s only)

Base will be lighter brown (0085) with dark brown (0867) at hem/arm trim and in yoke. The other yoke contrasts will be light mustard (1400), cream (0051), turquoise (1404) and teal green (9423).

  • March 12 sleeve 1 done, ribbing is 8 cm and sleeve is 54 cm. had to join second ball of base color
  • March 16: second sleeve done using 3rd ball of yarn. Cast on body stitches and added 5 for steek. Almost done with ribbing and need to join in 4th ball of main color.
  • March 22: 16 cm from cast on edge on body and joining 5th ball of yarn. Gauge now relaxed a little, 19 stitches per 10 cm. Marking where I have joined 5th ball to see how far it goes.
  • March 23: One ball went just under 11 cm and I am 26 cm from cast on edge and have 14 cm to go. Adding 6th ball.
  • April 13: redid collar by leaving center 3 steek stitches on piece of yarn and worked collar in k1p1 for 7 cm flat instead of in the round. Bound off using stretchy bind off from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGHItYwr1us Plan to graft arms, then block. Will then steek and do applied icord to steek and then find zipper.
  • April 17: sewed underarms, wove in ends and blocking. Need to sew and cut steek, then do applied icord and sew in zipper. I love it so much more after blocking :)
  • May 15: sewed and cut steek. Plan to do applied icord edge and zipper
