Notes

Moving slow on this one. I am getting close to the bust area, and am hoping that it will get more interesting.

May 26-I cast off for the neckline and for some reason my count was 20 stitches over. After thinking about it for a day-I ripped out the 5” of ribbing. I will be better about counting. This sweater is so fitted, that 20 stitches seemed too much to be off. Darn! I was hoping to have it done soon! Oh well.

July 3-working back on the bust ribbing and keeping a much better count. I do not want to rip it out again.

August 10-I have the sleeves attached to the body and now I am knitting the top part of the sweater. I am hoping to have it done in a week. I am ready to knit new sweaters!

I have finally finished on the hottest day of the year around here. I found the pattern very interesting after casting off the neckline. The sweater fits well. I will take a picture in it on a cooler day. Very happy.

I liked the yarn, but it was hard to unknit. It stuck to itself.
