Notes

5/31 Decided on colors, yarn is dyed and drying. With only 18% humidity here in Nor Cal, it should be dry by morning and I’ll be able to cast on.
6/2 Not totally sure I’m liking my colors…the Teal seems to be blending with the grey quite a bit. I might need to swap it out for something else. Going to do a few more rounds and then decide
6/3 I decided there wasn’t enough contrast between the Teal and the grey so I tinked back and am using a dark grey/black as cc2.
It’s looking great and the pattern is so fun I’m having a hard time putting it down.
6/7 Completed yoke and have begun raglan increases and short rows. So far the pattern has been perfectly written and easy to follow.
6/9 Divided for sleeves and am now working on the body.
6/18 well I have slowed down a bit due to contracting Covid and being too sick to knit. But I finished body today.

So far I’ve used 6 oz of MC, 1.6 oz CC1 and 0.5 oz CC2 (putting this here so I don’t lose it for my testing notes)

6/26 Still sick and haven’t been able to do as much as I’d like. Working sleeves two at a time and I’m nearly ready for the cuffs. The whole sweater seems rather big but perhaps I’m just dillusional as to what size my body really is…

7/1 After not knitting for 4 days, I was finally able to finish today! It’s lovely. Going to soak and block and then take proper pictures.
