Notes

Started with sleeves - 56 sts. 1 ball of yarn brought me to about the elbow length.
11/25 Both sleeves are done - each used up a little more than 2 skeins.
Started the main piece (fronts and back) from the bottom - 208 sts.

I ended up having one extra ball left - it is hard to calculate yarn usage exactly with bottom-up construction. In principle, I can go and add a couple inches of moss stitch in the bottom… but I think I am quite content with the length. So far - no buttons, I will start wearing it to see if I even need them.

Huge thanks again for my dear friend TatyKnitNDance for giving me this yummy yarn - I absolutely love the color, and it worked beautifully for this project! Thank you, dear!
