Cast-on for size 40.
Decided to provisionally cast-on for easy access to knit the hood later. Will see how that works out.

Started pondering doing the button band in a contrasting color. Thinking about Mad Tosh Pop Rocks which of course was just announced as discontinued this week… so we’ll see if I can snag a skein. But I really love how it looks against CWD.

Knit 26 rows of yoke.

May 14-
