Knitting men’s size small. If too large he will grow into it.

Knitting this beside Nat’s Hearts and Waffles cardi.
June 11: A little more than halfway thru 2nd rep.
June 17: Armhole steeks are set. Shall put aside for a bit to work on Waffles.

July 18: Will try to complete body in next few days.
July 31: Body complete including ends tidied. Now ready for neck band and sleeves.

Aug 2: My neckband is lower at back and I picked up 12 extra sts and worked 2 extra 6-stitch reps of Chart C.

Aug 3: Sleeves: My tension is weird (smaller for sts, bigger for rows) so I recalculated for less rows and different decrease ratio. I shall start sleeves on row 33 (upside down) and work decrease pairs every 5 rounds 6 times and every 4 rows 24 times.

Aug 10: Down to 102 sts now and switched to double point straights. Moving more quickly as sleeve decreases.

Aug 13: First sleeve complete except final Chart C border. In Montreal and forgot my 3m needles for cuff. No worries; shall pick up stitches for second sleeve.

Aug 15: OK chart C for cuff complete on first sleeve.

Aug 19: FINITO Just soak, block and dry then I will add final measurements.

Circumference at hips: 39”
Circumference at chest 42”
Length: 25.5”
Sleeve length: 19”
