Notes

Swatch with the plotulopi on US8s
US6 hem
US7 body
US8 yoke

Seed stitch hem for 8 round each.

4/29/18 had to rip the whole second sleeve. I am so comfortable knitting with the plotulopi now that I had a much tighter gauge than sleeve #1, where I was loosey goosey the whole way. Moved from 12” to 16” circs and am consciously knitting loosely. AND I upped to a US8 needle.

I think this will be a beautiful FO.

5/7/18 I’m past the first treeline on the yoke. Feeling the love for this project. Yarn, design, it’s all kinda wonderful:)

5/13/18 the FO is so ravisant, even with my ever changing gauge and having to change needle sizes midstream between frogging sections. Just such a very beautiful fabric.
