9-2-14 - finished! I think I had about 8 grams left from the 3 cones (and now I can’t find the leftovers to be sure, but it was 2 very tiny balls). I followed the pattern as written to finish, except that I did the neck bindoff as K2tog tbl instead of a sewn bindoff. LOVE it!

8-19-14 - nope, blocking didn’t change the gauge. I’m now done with the back, the front and the first sleeve. got waylaid a bit in the middle because I didn’t wind that third skein into two balls…but I’m back on track now. the pattern is easy to follow and it goes fast (when you actually work on it!)

7-25-14 - smitten by the latest shop newsletter, I bought yarn and swatched. on size 7’s I’m getting 19 st/24 rows unblocked. hope blocking doesn’t change that!
