Casted on, used the paint socks yarn as my contrast color, did some ribbing instead of plain knitting.
Did the first 11 rows of the 47 rows colorwork

December 29, 2024

Did a little more, reached row 17, just before an increase row.

Finished the yoke

January 1, 2025

Yoke length after increase row is 18.5 cm, i.e. I need to knit app. 3 cm before starting the short rows. Switched to smaller needles (3.5 mm).

First ball of Gründl Pearl was exactly enough for the yoke and the increases, I have about 10 g of the multicolored yarn left.

Picked this up again after a short break. Want to finish it by the end of February at the latest, so I can still wear it this winter.

Finished 2nd ball of yellow yarn at app. 46 cm length from top

February 1, 2025

Started bottom ribbing. Only have 26 g of white, 5 g of self-striping and app. 67 g of yellow left for the sleeves- hope this will be enough!

February 1, 2025

Finished body. Have 17 +50 = 67 g yellow left.
Picked up 85 stitches, will decrease only every 10 rows or so not every 6.

I need app 0.8 g per round, so I will do app. 30 rounds in white at each sleeve.

February 1, 2025

Used the white up to 3 rows after 4th decrease, did 5 rounds of self-striping, now the yellow until I have about 34 g of the yellow left.

February 2, 2025

Finished 1st sleeve, picked up 85 stitches for the second

February 4, 2025

I have about 10 g left of the yellow yarn, just about 3 meters of the white and 5 meters of the self-striping.
