Notes

13 May 2023

Mothers day present to myself. Starting by swatching.

18 May 2023

Swatches. Twice, different needles, and put both in the laundry. So proud of myself for “doing it right.” Only one came out of the dryer. Gauge was perfect, but which needles was it from?! Found second swatch days later - unwashed, but comparing the two, I definitely know the larger set of needles is what I want. Whew

Finally casting on

26 May 2023

Really enjoying this so far! The right mix of mindless and interesting.

29 May 2023

Picking up for lower right front. Is the stripe where I only pick up 4 at the top or bottom? I’m guessing top wish me luck

8 June 2023

Almost done - just the seams and edging at neck and armholes. Really like this pattern, very clever construction!

10 June 2023

“Pick up and knit 219” augh so tedious but it’s made up for by the ease of binding them all off the next row and it’s a nice tidy edge I will likely borrow for other things! Neck is done, seams done, all ends run in, determined to finish this in time to throw it in the laundry today

10 June 2023 part 2

I finished it and washed it and it fit! Mildly terrifying having to wait to the very very end to try on, but it’s a great pattern and everything worked perfectly.
