Notes

This is nerve racking! You have to go 25 rows to see if the drops work or not.
Forgot to do TBL on 1st 15 rows

O7.04.14 my gauge is really off! Taking 12 stitches out of middle repeat so it’s not so wide. Love the look of the yarn I’m using but it splits really easily , which is causing a bit of a knitmare
Good job I’m on holiday this week, got a bit carried away with this! I’m fascinated watching the design appear. Got 3/4 of back finished today! ( but didn’t get my ironing done or my 2 hall cupboards organised! )

09.04.14 finished the back. And even with the reduced rows it’s not ruined the overall look phew . Day off today as it’s my birthday. So no tipsy knitting mistakes ;)

14.04.14 front and back now done! Going to do long sleeve version , so hopefully be able to wear by the weekend?

18.04.14 All finished
I made the sleeves longer than the pattern said. So continued for another 20 rows and reduced stitches by an additional 6 . I finished the sleeves in a simple 4 row rib.

Glad I stuck with the yarn. I love the texture . It did slow down my knitting a little but possibly the splitting wasn’t helped as I used bamboo needles?
