Notes

3/11/10 - Working on the yoke
3/14/10 - Started the body. Loving the color. Yarn a little splitty, but not bad.
3/16/10 - On the body shaping, but I may have to detour for a little bit. The yarn for my Autumn Vines cardigan came today, and I’m going to try to bust that out before mothers day.

Finally came back to this project in July of 2011…. Almost a year and a half after I started it.

10/15/11 - Body, collar, and sleeves are done. Started button bands.

10/16/11 - Blocking!

Final comments:
Well, it doesn’t fit as nicely as I had hoped. Might make this pattern again in a small (this is a medium). The picture of the back really shows how it is too big. Still very comfy and cozy. Pattern was easy to follow. I am not crazy about these buttons. They are just place holders until I find something better.

A note on the knit picks swish DK yarn… This is the second sweater I have knit with this yarn and not been very happy with it. It is very soft and sweet, but it stretches ALOT. I will always go a size smaller when I use this yarn in the future.
