Notes

Frogging a 10+ year old project I originally knit for a friend but never finished.

Adding waist shaping so that the sweater isn’t so boxy.

09-22-2024

Starting with Left Front, in order to get a sense of the st patts and to make sure gauge is accurate.

09-25-2024

First 50g ball finished, along with waist shaping. 5k sts

10-02-2024

Finished the left front before our road trip with 1’’ of yarn left in skein #2. Started the right front on road trip.

About halfway done with right front. 30%

10-03-2024

CO for the back and got through the first patt repeat and ribbing. 40%

10-06-2024

Plugging away at the back. 50%

10-09-2024

Past the UA for the back and getting close to doing the shoulder shaping. 350g of yarn used so far. 65%

10-11-2024

Shoulders are joined, cables are joined at back of neck, cable is sewn to back neck, and collar sts PU and knit. Onto the sleeves! 70%

10-14-2024

Close to finishing sleeve #1 80%.

10-16-2024

Side seams done (more or less), and second sleeve knit down to the 6th decrease round. I just may get this done by tomorrow (except for buttons and grosgrain ribbon) 92%.

10-17-2024

The knitting is finished! Sweater is soaking. Still needs ends woven in, button band ribbons sewn in and buttons sewn on.
