Notes

All swatched and blocked and ready to go.

I will use US5/3/75mm ChiaoGoo to get gauge.

I plan to make size 50 1/2, since the recommended ease is 4 - 8”. Not sure about that yet, but for the summer, ventilation will be appreciated. We’ll see …

The yarn is amazingly pleasant to work with … can hardly wait to get started!

July 20, 2024 Time to Frog

I unearthed this project while looking for some yarn, and thought I can maybe finish it in this year’s Tee MAL.
When I took it out of the bag … shock! This is huge!

I put it over a t-shirt that I currently like to wear. I decided it’s time to frog. I love the yarn and the pattern, but I will never wear a tee with that much ease, which is a confirmation of the concern that I wrote down when I added the last picture.

I will make the pattern again, in size 42 1/2 (based on number of stitches that I currently think are too much), which is close to my actual current bust. I think I will like that much better.

July 25, 2024 Ready to Re-Start

Switching from size 50 1/2 to 42 1/2”.

Looking forward to working with Zinnia again. Even frogging the yarn was enjoyable.
