Notes

4-6-17: just need to block.
Photo of almost finished collar most true to color.
4-6-17: have only the cuff to finish and weave in ends.
3-8-17: began second sleeve.
2-15-17: finally only one sleeve left to knit!
1-18-17: a baby sleeve…. growing.
1-15-17: picked up stitches for sleeve.
1-3-17: now that I finally fiinished Malin, it’s time to get busy with this again.
11-12-16: finished the shoulder straps.
11-11-16: after finishing Flora and some small items, have picked this back up to knit the shoulder straps.
9-15-16: after what has seemed to take an eternity of more or less monogamous knitting, the front and back yokes are finally finished.
7-20-16: finished chest stripe pattern and divided for the back and forth yokes.
7-11-16: began chest stripe pattern.
7-4-16: begin gussets. After taking a long break to work on Flora, I’m back to this.
2-22-16: making slow but sure progress
1-15-16: finished the ribbing and the first pattern repeat.
12-26-16: cast on the ribbing I did not drop down a needle size for the ribbing as I did with Seaforth, as I found that ribbing knit on size 2 mm needles to be uncomfortably tight around the wrists, neck, etc.

Scottish Fleet in Coral, similar to Frangipani Breton.
Have 13 skeins but may not need them all.
