Notes

I am totally and utterly in love with this pattern and yarn combination. heart_eyes

Loving making this, but I had a major case of two steps forward one step back last night, when I was casting off the body and noticed my hem was flipping up… And realised I had never changed needle size (as the pattern clearly instructs…). Facepalm. Ripped out the hem and started again with smaller needles…
Experienced knitters make bigger mistakes more quickly!

Just picked up for the first sleeve as I’m determined not to get stuck on sleeve island. :)

First sleeve used 38g of contrast colour (and some main colour but I have plenty of that so I didn’t weigh it).

All blocked! And now I just need to take some photos. WHOOP!!!

I adjusted where I changed colours in order to get the most out of my precious skeins of hand dyed yarn.
