Notes

I’m finally on the Ranunculus bandwagon… love how fast it knits up. I needed a break from the Honey Cardigan for a minute.

Holding two strands of cobweb cashmere and 1 of cumulus. So light and pretty!

Halfway through section 3: yoke

01-27-2023

Finishing body. Deciding on extending length

Welp, I ran out of cashmere. So far used 2 skeins cumulus and 45 grams cashmere. Maybe should have only held one strand with the Cumulus instead of doubling it. Oh well. Ordered more from Colourmart. Hoping the Royal Mail hack won’t delay delivery too long…

The cashmere arrived from Colourmart a couple days ago. I finished the body and the try on wasn’t great. A bit too cropped so i frogged the ribbing and knitted the stockinette portion to 7”. I’m back to working on the ribbing again.

I can’t believe how long this super fast knit is taking lol

Working sleeves…

02-19-2023

Making the sleeves long. Knit 45 cm before shaping the cuff

02-23-2023

Did the sleeve short row shaping and I cord bind off. Love it!

Ends are weaved in and ready to block
