Notes

Making this a summer top by using Linen. I’m hoping I’ll like it enough to make a 2nd one out of wool/wool-blend.

rewashed and blocked since I put too many weights on the 1st go round.
Blocked Take 2
6spi x 10rpi approximate since it looks like I rowed out a few times so swatch stitches are a bit uneven.

Since my Row Gauge is always so, I’m factoring in the fact that linen doesn’t have as much stretch as wool does, so bumping up to a US1.5 (2.5mm) and making the S size.

Got to the end of Ch 5…only to discover my stitch count is off. Ripped back 3 rows and still off, ended up ripping all the way back to set-up round. le sigh

06-14-2018

Finished Ch 6…will need to change needle cord to a shorter length now that sleeves are bound off and separated.

06-17-2018

1.5 more rows before Ch 9 and Skein B is at its end. Pleats are coming out pretty cool.

Worked on at knit nite. About 6 more rounds then hem.

05-10-2019

Ready to start the hem…might add a few rows of length…will have to double check swatch row gauge.
