Made a tension swatch with size 2.75mm. After blocking the piece, I got 28 sts over 10cm. Yay! But only 30 rounds over 10cm.

Nov 15- Cast on! I’m loving this Shetland wool!

Nov 28 - This is such an enjoyable project. I find I’m enjoying each stitch rather than focusing on getting it completed. It’s so relaxing.

Jan 20/14 Completed to armhole shaping. Length = 14.5” (row gauge a bit off) which is ok because I prefer it just a tiny bit longer for myself. I may have to adjust my tension for armhole shaping to ensure proper slope for armhole.

Feb 14/14 Just before the last repeat (blue) armhole depth measures 18cm. If I complete the last repeat, it will measure about 21.5 cm (too deep). Ended with red repeat and knit a few extra rounds in main colour in order to get correct depth.

July4/14 Just picked this back up a couple weeks ago. Shaped sleeve cap with 2.25 mm needles. Plan to work sleeve in 2.5mm needles.
