Notes

Started after my first chemo infusion so that I had something to take with me during subsequent infusions and also to help me feel productive.

Did some of the neck shaping during the 2nd infusion.

Did some short rows during the 3rd infusion.

Did some of the first sleeve during 4th infusion.

Some of 2nd sleeve during 5th infusion.

18th July 2020…. all but buttons.

Am hoping that my daughter likes it and I can then knit her one using denim blue as the main colour and an outmeal colour as the contrast as it was a very fun knit.
