Notes

May 31, 2018

Knitting cast on.
German short rows.
I’m making this work in Portuguese style knitting, but to knit Fair Isle I combine continental and english method by working with a yarn in each hand (because I’m knitting on the right side, in the Portoguese style Fair Isle is knitted on the wrong side), I’m weaving every 3 or 4 sts

June 1, 2018

When I Knit continental or english I’m a loose knitter, for this reason I don’t switch to larger needle for color work.
Increases on the left side of yoke chart M1L, on the right side M1R

June 3, 2018

I’m not alternating the skeins for the main colour, I like it as it is in the pattern

June 12, 2018

The first skein of main colour finished, I put on the body in hold and I started the left sleeve.
After 23 cm from underarm I started long sleeve chart from row 9

June 19, 2018

Roller edge: 10 rows .
Russian bind off.
Total sleeve lenght 45 cm

June 30, 2018

I used 1 skein of Dame for the sleeves and 9 gr of Love Vigilantes remained

December 12, 2018

Finished. Remained 58 gr of Dame.
Total sleeve lenght after blocking 48 cm.
Total length 64 cm.
I made 2XL but the bust circumference is 127 cm not 157 cm, my gauge was tighter.
I have made two side cuts to get a better drapery.
It’s perfect, I love it
