Notes

I don’t have enough of one super bulky color, so I will use a bit of this and that, as well as hold 2 strands together for some of them in order to get and keep gauge.
I’m planning on doing some fun color work and some fun color transitions.
I completed the body in FOUR days! I had to do some math and weighing of skeins as I knit to make certain I will have enough to knit the sleeves in the same color blocks as the body….and hopefully, no Yarn Chickens, lol!
Sleeves are my least favorite - awkward, constantly turning my work, concentrating on keeping gauge with DPNs.
US 15 for 1x1 ribbing on the hem and sleeves.
Neckline -decided on applied 3-stitch i-cord, with the last of the Catskill Merino Burnt Sugar in US size 13 (15s made the i-cord TOO chunky).
Took days to dry. I don’t like arm creases, so I stuffed the arms with towels as it dried.
