Notes

Restarted this cardigan. I had originally started working top down but I don’t enjoy this method so I’m now happier doing my usual bottom up.
I don’t have enough of the Debbie Bliss Donegal Tweed to complete the whole cardigan so I’m going to supplement it with the oddments of Rowan Fine Tweed I still have in my stash.
The plan is for plain sleeves with a Fair Isle body but I’ll have to see how it goes as I go along.
Starting with the sleeves to check yardage.

Worked out very well. I ended up with only 6g of the main shade left and used up all of the Rowan Fine Tweed.

Very happy with the results.
