Notes

Making short sleeved version. Using German short rows. The handspun is working up to look very rustic.

I am using some rustic handspun for CC , so it looks a bit wonky, but the blocking will help a bit. And it will look rustic.

I did a weird thing yesterday where I unaccountably slipped MC when carrying CC floats in front instead of knitting the MC. Disaster. Ripped back several inches.

I am testing the design, and the beta instructions didn’t say to switch to smaller needles for knitting the body. I realized too late that I probably should have switched, so my top’s body is larger than it would be with corrected pattern.

Bad nighttime photo in unblocked Montrose. Better pics coming in blocked and dry top!
