Petersilie - 437 g available (2 skein, divided into 4 due to 1 knot per skein)

19.3.17 I winded the yarn and did knit and wash the gauge.
Will go with 3.75 mm for stockinette stitch.
Than I recognized that Thyone is from Greek mythology as well as my nick and that Mneme also is one of the 67 moons of the Jupiter (No. 40)

26.3.17 The shoulder was started last week.
Due to some “puff sleeve effect” in other projects I changed the pickup for the shoulders, so I cast on more stitches and picked up less so that at the end I come with size 39.5 stitch count & marker positions.
Normally with my size and gauge I should go with size 42.

09.04.17 I started the slip stitch section a couple of times, I had problems with the stranded yarn and the increase pattern and counting till 3 also seems to be very complicated face_with_rolling_eyes.
At the end I decided to do it fair isle instead of slip stitching and I improvised the increasing arm shape area. I am happy with the outcome.

06.05.17 As always in the long just-knitting-stockinette-parts I do need some time but today the first of 4 green skeins is finished and I will start with the arms now. (Better to knit first before yarn will not be enough)

25.09.17 After some summer rest for me and the cardigan I am back on track and finished the arms. Blue yarn will be for sure enough for button band and hips, so I can fully use up the green yarn.
