Notes

April 2009: Am doing a tension square…..yay for
me!

July 2009: Last night I was too tired really and wronly read the increase row in the ribbing. So I had to pull it down a few times and reknit. I’m thinking that it will be too full but I’ll keep going and see.

May 2010: Really it is too big for me, but Mum tried it on and liked the looser feel. She wanted only short sleeves, so my mods were: picked up sleeve and underarm stitches. Worked 1 row stst. Work 4 rows in 1x1 rib. Cast off using cable cast off.

june 2010: My mum came round the other day wearing this, and I thought it looked fantastic!! It really suited her (esp. with the 2” neg. ease) and I was super pleased.
