Notes

My mojo came back this evening, and amazingly it was a sweater from the 80’s, atime when my mum and I both had subscriptions to Sandra magazine along with mum’s sisterJulia and their mum, my Nan.

This sweater is knit in their honour using their favourite colours and mine.no prizes for guessing which colour that is!

Knitting this as a mini KAL with friends from the Cafe.

Finished sleeve one -

Pattern calls for a worsted weight - I am using fingering, so will be adjusting the number of stitches cast on and the needle size. ( pattern: 4.5mm used: 3.75)

Used largest size # sts for cast on as they went nicely round my wrist.
Didn’t start increasing immediately - as a wanted a cuff. So changed increases to every 4th row, after completing the first 60 rows in striped pattern ( 4 rows st st, followed by 1 knit row and 3 rows reversed st st)

Then knit in set pattern until my sleeve length (pattern is two inches too short for my arms, even taking the drop shoulder into account)

Measured the width to my arm - and had increased to 114 sts. noting here so I don’t forget and knit two different sleeves (has happened before!)
