Notes

Body-
Held the Pebble and Cima together. I missed the direction to knit the extra ribbing rows in the front. It seemed like the weight of the fronts were pulling the garment down in front. To reduce this, I added several short rows to the back in the ribbing pattern. Then I continued with the rest of the ribbing. Used an Icelandic bindoff.

Sleeves- I have 20 g of Pebble and 102 g of Cima left at the start of the sleeves. I will have to alternate somehow…used a kind of fade technique to eliminate the Pebble and add in the Cima. Kept decreasing until 56 sts. remained.

Front Neck Edging- picked up 106 sts. on each front using 2.5 needles.
