Notes

3/28 - finished and blocked!
* Weights of leftover white and black are approximate because I started with partial balls from other projects.

3/27 Finished sewing in all the ends! Now just to dup stitch a few places and steam block (not aggressively)

3/6 finished the collar sewing and the sleeves. Had extra yarn left and the sleeves are slightly too short so I’m going to lengthen them by 20 rounds. Then have to weave in the colorwork ends. Or knot them. Or both lol

3/5 knit collar, still need to fold and sew. Knit 22 rounds sleeves. Playing yarn chicken with the light blue :/ need to frog back one round to have 72 sts around.

For puffy sleeves: get to just above wrist bone. K2tog around to reduce stitch count by half. K1/p1 rib for 16 rounds with us4.

2/29 sewed up the shoulders and the sides. Got both arm tops done. Tried it on after I seamed it and it’s gonna be more of a dress on me but I think I can adjust the collar so it stays on my shoulders well.

2/28 managed to get to the last section and did r 113-141 on my bulky machine, after a lot of messing up! Still, finished the back.

2/26 after a long break I did from r60-r98 of the back. Plain stockinette is so boring.

2/2 got through row 48, decided it’s better to just use moderately long lengths of yarn and not bobbins. I’ll deal with the ends later.

1/31 started the front colorwork part. Holy tangles Batman. Even with bobbins

1/30 finished front rib

1/28 - finished through colorwork on back, am going to attempt to machine the next 50 rows and hope the hand dyed yarn doesn’t do me wrong. Put a lifeline in if it doesn’t work out.
