Notes

I’m not sure how this crepe twist is going to go. Fingers crossed. The colour is stunning though

9/10/13 - Just knitted the first 6 rows of the pattern and it’s not working out. I don’t have half diamonds. Ripped back will need to graph the pattern to make sure there is not an error. Really disappointed at this stage :(

Graphed it, pattern seems fine wondering if it’s the crepe twist that is not giving me enough stitch definition. Will give it one more go then I’m going to have a cry and decided what to do lol.

10/10/13-:) Big smiles it was just my brain that stuffed up, stuffed up on row 4 only p1, k2 should of been p1 k3, finished first 6 rows and now I have half diamonds yipee, that will teach me for not concentrating.

10/10/2013 - finished the 13cm for back from armholes on row 8 of pattern and then began cast off.
Finished back.

26/10/2013 - Been on hiatus as I realised I knitted the left front completely wrong half way through right front. Continuing with right front going to pull back left front till error and fix later. Couldn’t not finish this colour and pattern look great.

Right Front Reached 7cm on Row 7 completed row 8 to end on a wrong side. Cast off 3 stitches on row 1 of patt. Reached 13cm on row 3 of patt cast off for shoulder 1st set of stitches on row 4

27/10/2013 - Finished both right and front panels. Just need to do sleeves but I feel a bout of procrastination coming on. lol

Sleeve once I reached 53 sts, completed 23 rows straight stst

28/10/2013 - Got on with it and finished sleeve

01/11/2013 - second sleeve finished, need to seam up.

4/11/2013 - all done
