Notes

My first attempt to knit a sweater (fall 21012)was Skappelgenseren(an oversized garter stitch sweater). It turned out way too big in width of the body and neckline.

15 March 2014:Had to be frogged and I am now knitting a cosy custom fit sweater in st st instead. I think it will turn out great and the yarn came to use after all.
Had to frog this as well. Too thick with two strands (Rauma Puno and Du store alpakka Faerytale) … Have to separate them..oh what a job!

28 March 2014:I have managed to save most of the yarn and separated them.

April 2014: knitting Il grande favorito as a jacket, with 1 strand of Faerytale and 1 strand of thin alpaca. CO 7 st extra to the center front for crochet steeking (p1, k2, p1, k2, p1).
