Notes

I started off just stranding the colours and ended up weaving the colours all the way along. I like the finish on the inside much better this way.

Feb 1: Finished knitting body (43cm) Now starting sleeves.
For sleeve increases, I used m1L at beginning of round and m1R at end of round.
Mar 10: Finally finished it and I love it! Just have to block it before I can wear it. I ran out of brown so I used teal for the collar. I love all the crazy colours.

I know it sounds crazy but I braided the end of the yarn that were at the beginning/end of round on the yoke. Much faster than weaving each individual end in. It will felt in seamlessly with wear. A little trick I got from a youtube knitter.
