Stripey bateau neck sweater (yarn is now black and off white)
18 May 2023
Back done. Working on front. Second guessing myself and wondering if I should have done the striping differently. Ah well, if I have to rip and re-knit, that’s just more knitting for me, right?

Ok, pretty sure I should have knit the whole thing wider (despite swatching, blarg). Going to plug ahead anyway, “trust the process,” see what happens when washed, and if I rip it out, so be it.

Finished the front, seamed the shoulders, tried on, ripped everything out
2 July 2023
Starting over, doing it differently. Provisional cast on, wondering why I didn’t record how many sts last time blarg. Start with 80?

P to 12 from end w&t
K to 12 from end w&t
continue with short row shaping until 4 sts after wrapped st - three white stripes - first all-the-way-to-the-end row should be black

Need to pick up stitches for second sleeve
29 October 2023
Finally picked up the second sleeve, and finished the shoulder/sleevecap shaping. Hope now that I’m over that hump things are less slow going

Stripes are done, now the ribbing! Have 46g of black left; going to use half for the front and back, stretchy bind off, should be enough left for the sleeves. And finally this will be over!!
10 December 2023
Finished body ribbing with 30g black left? Going to add a bit of length to the sleeves
