Notes

A very nice sweater. Love the crescent hemline and wrist detail. I typed out all the rounds for the body and sleeves in chart form to better keep track of the alternating instructions.

I made my sweater quite a bit longer in the body and sleeve length to fit my 6’ self. When lengthening the body I continued to move the front eyelets towards the centre as established.

November 20, 2018: Started the crescent ribbing on the body and discovered that I’d messed up my eyelet placement about 9” back. AUGH. open_mouth This is what happens when you grab your knitting as you go out the door, knit merrily away at social events, and somehow never stop to check your work. Ripped it back and rewrote the instructions to make it easier for me to keep track of the two kinds of decrease rounds for the body shaping.

And maybe I’ll bring something else to knit nights and waiting rooms for the time being.

Old notes:

Gauge on 4 mm needles is 22 sts/4”. Will wet block and see if it changes. My gauge with Durasport on the same needles is 20 sts/4” after blocking and wearing but Sport seems a bit thinner. Update: definitely getting closer to 20 sts/4” after blocking. Going to stick to size medium for now.

Reknit the 9” I had to rip back. Back on track! I can’t quite figure out how this sweater is using so little yarn. I am almost finished the body and haven’t even used up the second skein. Mysterious.
