Notes

New-To-You KAL
Alternator Badge
Accidental Mobius

02/26/2015-So I cast on, knit quite a bit, checked my gauge….and decided I better start again! I really like the fabric I am getting on 9’s so I decided to size up to a 40. So I restarted and earned myself the accidental mobius badge, LOL! Oh well, I am making really good progress and really enjoying it. This is now my commuter project now that my Briquette is at the sleeves so I really only work on it on the train to and from work and I am already at the bust increases! I also remembered today that the sleeves are knit separately and then joined to the yoke which means I can keep this as a commuter project all the way through!

Realized this is the first time I have done continuous bottom up in the round so going to switch this to the New To Me Kal for ESK!

03/26/205-So, between the new job and bridesmaid duties I haven’t spent much time knitting in the last month at all. This should have been finished weeks ago but now that it isn’t I realize I have probably missed my opportunity to wear it before fall. I think I may tuck it away for a while and start something lighter. Have a bit of the yoke and the neck band to go.

Ready to pick this back up and finish it off now that it is beginning to get cold again. Pulled it out of my bag and need to figure out where I left off. Also realized I never tried this on at any point in my progress earlier this year so I really hope this is going to fit.

Knit the collar as written and decided it is too high up on my neck. I think I will rip and redo tomorrow…for now I will weave in the ends and sew up the armholes…

Went with an icord bind off on the neck and am SO excited to wear this that I think I won’t bother waiting to block it…
