Notes

Since my gauge is off, I’m doing smaller size (113cm bust) to fit my 122 cm bust. Let’s hope it works.

I made a few minor modifications:
I knitted the body a bit longer (more rows before separating the back and the front) and added a few rows to the shoulders also. The sleeves are shorter than in the pattern and I did decreases also on the ribbing.

Nov 5th: both fronts are ready.

Nov 8th: Back is done also and joined the pieces together. It looks so great!

Nov 12th: Button bands came out just perfect, yay.

Nov 16th: First sleeve done. I had 70 g of yarn per sleeve and I used almost every meter of it. I didn’t knit stockinette as long as the pattern called for since I would have ran out of yarn but I did do decreases on the rib also. Really nice sleeve lenght and soon I’ll have a new cardigan! The fit seems perfect, I’m so happy I actually did a swatch and made Laika to count which size I should do.

Dec 4th: Knitting is all done! I have about 2 g of yarn left (plus the gauge swatch) so it was quite a close call. It looks so good, tomorrow I try to be productive and block it and sew buttons. I so want to wear this already!
