Notes

I was a bit worried about the yarn I’ve chosen but I think it is coming out quite nicely and the colours, black and purple, look great together.

22/07 -> I’m having some problems with the arm shaping. I think I must be misreading something but I cannot figure out the best way to work it and my yarn is suffering a lot from my continuous frogging the problematic row.

28/07 -> I’ve decided to follow the instructions as I understand them and see what happens. If something go wrong or looks strange I’ll decide how to handle it while seaming.

02/08 -> I’ve finished the right side and it looks OK. I modified the number of stitches for the button holes because they were huge.
