Notes

12-12-2023

adding 32 stitches to the linen stitch section in the middle to widen it by 4” for man neck/shoulders

That means cast on is 111 stitches, not 79

Restarted this on 12/12, by the by.

06-22-2024

I have finished the penultimate row, and have 5-6 grams of Cardinal Tonal left, and 30 grams of fig (brown) left.

That should be enough to do a Size B bind off but I will definitely be playing yarn chicken.

After doing one feathertip in cardinal, I shall re-weigh to see whether I can do 2 or 4 or 6 total, then switch over to fig.

I will also go ahead and put in a lifeline in case the red-to-brown ratio looks terribly off between the sides… or I mess up the tips, as is tradition.

06-24-2024

After one feathertip, still have 5 grams of cardinal yarn

06-24-2024

After 2 feather tips, 27 g or Fig yarn.

06-27-2024

Have 17g of fig yarn left after RS bind off. Should be enough for WS bind off, even if the leftover Cardinal Tonal is a bit short for two tips.
