Notes

I was going to do all over colour work, but lost confidence in my colour choices and decided to knit rest of it in plain stockinette. At the same time my daughter announced I hat she didn’t want a dino jumper anymore. She wanted a Barbie jumper instead… I just wanted to finish to jumper as fast as I could before she t went in the naughty curves and never came out!
I knitted the body to length, and the sleeves two at a time until I ran out of yarn.
Soaked overnight in Eucalan wool wash and table salt (to stop colour bleeding). Spun dry at 1200RPM. Very disappointed that the red McIntosh yarn ran. I came with a warning it might run, but I think the dyer should’ve rinsed/fixed the colour before selling it.
