Notes

Well this is a learning process for me. This is my first project that I am documenting. So all is new to me on Ravelry. But not to knitting. I had a hard time getting the gauge on this one. I started using Knit Picks wooden #6 but that did not work. Went down a size to #5. That too did not work. So I shifted and went to Metal needles #6 and that worked. I have no idea why.

Now as of today I am finished with the body of the sweater. I am just finishing one sleeve. so now I have one sleeve and the cowl to go. I guess that is it for now

2/22/14 finished it last week and had to block and let it dry. It fit nicely. Made some mistakes. When I sewed the ends in the showed out the front. I guess next time I will tie them to each other and leave it if I use this yarn again. Or ask someone how to do it with such thin yarn.

Love the sweater and it looks good on me.
