I saw this cardi on my friend and….
fell in love!
I am such a copy-cat - must have it too! ;-)

Held two strands together.
Couldn’t quite match the gauge.
Mine is off - 20sts x 12rws.

June 22 - Don’t like written instructions!
Even though it’s written well.
I wish this pattern would have a symbol chart, like in regular Japanese knitting magazines.

Opted off of Bell-sleeves.
I start sleeves as size M, gradually increasing to L, in a round. Will see if I get any challenges attaching them to the body of the cardi.
Sleeves - done!

Chained the body of the cardi for size L.

July 2 - little delay with crocheting. Got some orders to make.

July 6 - the body of a sweater half done!
July 20 - the body is done
- decided to redo the sleeves - two at a time, so they are identical.
I crochet then in the round, with a bit of modification - (turn only every 4th row)
