Notes

Cone of Sand. Cone Sky.
Mixing up my Shetland jumper weight wool to create a striped sweater for myself. I’ve split for body and mean to start sleeves simultaneously this time to gauge wool amounts.
Stripes.

16-07-2022

Continuing to make progress on the body of the sweater as it is a super project to pick up for social occasions, drives out with my family, whilst at the beach with grandsons and when relaxing and not wanting to concentrate too much of knitting.
Hope to finish the body in the next week or so - will follow instructions on doing the hem - which isn’t ribbing.

Sleeves are now being knit - stripes on each side as I go. Keep momentum!

I’ve focused on the sleeves this weekend in between other things as they were easy to pick up and set down. I’m knitting both simultaneously.

Completely finished on 1st September in time for autumn fallen_leaf
Shetland wool is so beautiful and there’s so many colours to choose from.
