Notes

Test Knit for Andrea Mowry.
Due Date: 4/13, noon.

US 3 for ribbing. US4 for sleeves. US5 for main body.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED knitting this.

Calculated that I needed 35% of the yarn for the sleeves so that’s how i chose where to switch the fade. So I weighed the skein at the start of the section, knit until there was 1/3 left and then split the difference on the sleeves.

Next time, I’d move the beginning of the round marker to one of the shoulders instead of the middle of the fron to avoid changing colors in the chest area. The BOR marker moves after splitting for sleeves so it’s not a problem at that point.

definitely see many more in my future! up next maybe a black, grey, white one?
