Notes
  • very late starting the test thanks to an unfortunate series of events so knitting in a slightly odd order
  • Put body on hold when a couple of pattern repeats after the armhole. Then did the 1st sleeve. And then the neck band!

My notes to self:

  • Personal preference - don’t do slipped st on armhole or neckline edge. I find picking up sts easier without it.
  • Sleeve as written too big for me so knit on 3.25mm needles
  • Sleeves 5cm shorter than pattern - to fit my apparently short arms!

Got to the end and spotted a mistake in the middle of the front - just after the underarms! So I ripped back. confused
