April

When blocked I found it didn’t shrink at all! Gauge: 20 sts x 24-26 rows. Seems to vary in places.

The sleeves were about 3” too long so I took some off.

Compared the body to another sweater and decided I wanted it longer so added another 3.5”.

My row gauge is way off from the pattern. If I follow the set-in sleeve directions the armhole will be way too deep.

Changing plans:
Joined the sleeves and body for a raglan sleeve. Took some calculations but I think I have it figured out.

I managed to knit up to the neckline completely forgetting to do the front neck decreases! Ripping!

Found that I hadn’t decreased all of the stitches in the fronts up to the raglan line so I ripped back again to add more decreases spaced every 4th row.

Bound off at the neck and picked up stitches for the neckband.

Finished all the bands. Just need to weave ends and underarms and add buttons!
