Notes

this yarn is so nice to knit with! love the feel and the color.
gauge was exact.

Started May but stopped until end of Dec since I got stuck with understanding some part of the pattern (perhaps my first cardigan?). BUT I’m back on track after emailing Isabell and she had helped me out (quick responder - aaahmazing!)

Jan 20: knitting sleeves 2 at a time. Part way into the cuffs and will be ordering another skein, might run out. I have long arms and like sleeves a bit longer than normal pattern.

Jan 27: had used up a bit of 5th skein but after blocking I could have NOT used the 5th skein, but I can fold the cuffs up or leave them down.

Jan 31: bought 5 matching buttons from Keck (4.50chf each - eeks!) but happy with results.

Cardigan fits great!!
