Notes

I started to make a Tubey. It didn’t work out since the back piece became too wide. It was large enough to cover all of the back of my neck when rolled open. Not desirable with a sweater, but very desirable with a shrug!

I modified the sleeves shorter and instead of making a body I knit a ribbed edge with short rows. Now the softness of this wonderful yarn with milk fiber runs across my back like the Milky Way runs across the night sky.

I like this more than I seem to in the pics. :D The frown is directed at the sun!
