Notes

Doubling a finger weight yarn an not swatching.. “o.O”
9.1 twisted rib + r.1 of chart…
9.10 upto 2 rows into 2nd repeat of chart and one side of my moss stich is off ..omg I’m not frogging again :/
9.17 youtube and a crochet hook and I was back in biz..done waist dec..this cabling is goobling up yardage but the cones look like they barely have a dent.. heh stash expansion.
9.23 done waist increases…soon ill need to reel off some 1878 for the neck shaping and then some if I want to do the sleeves 2 at a time.. at some point.
9.24 done first set of bid offs for arm shaping
10.1 about one repeat till the backs done..
10.9 during neck shaping… If you’re working w/continuous yardage…put the 2nd set of bindoff sts on a holder instead of joining another ball of yarn.. It wasn’t too hard to redo the directions…backs done!
10.14 rib for front done
10.15 2nd waist decrease.. moving along…
10.21 all the waist decreases done, and then some but had to rip back :/.. such a hassle in cables whaaaa!
11.4 took a break an made a bib, booties, baby pants, and a scarf hat :P… back in biz
11.5 waist increases done.. front is half bound off
11.12 1st sleeve done!
12.4 holiday breaks, bought some Soak… 30% done 2nd sleeve…

11.5.14I keep looking at this… I was on a weight loss journey when I started this and was getting close to my goal weight and thought this would look fantastic on the new slim me… Right after this post I found out I was preggers… and now.. well.. I don’t know what to do…
