1 Dec- Obtained gauge with 4.5mm, so I am starting the project.
Oh….provisional cast on….need a refresher. I remember not particularly enjoying this the first time i used it.

2 Dec- Finished the raglan shaping. Too tired to attempt and figure out the KRL and KLL increases so I decided to just go ahead with a straightforward m1. To me it looks fine, I do not think that it takes away from the look or shaping.

3 Dec- divided for body and sleeves and my stitch count was off. Had to undo and re-knit a bit, so made absolutely no progress.

4 Dec- Stayed home with my 6 year old who had a fever, so i managed to finish the body of the sweater!! YAY. Looks adorable, though the texture is pretty dense I have to say. But my gauge is fine, so….I’ll keep going.

5 Dec- I managed to pick up the stitches for the button-band and collar. I figured I would just go ahead and knit them now, this will avoid me having to weave in extra ends…. The lengths I will go to to avoid that, I know!!

I have 58 stitches on each side, and 19 on the increase/decrease portion.

8 Dec- Sleeve # 1 completed!!!
9 Dec- Sleeve #2 started
10 Dec - finished!!!
Have to weave in ends and buy buttons!
