Notes

Knitting finished 17 October.

Very nearly ran out of colour B, despite the next size up calling for the same amount. I think I’ve knit the ribbing looser than is ideal, which might account for the difference.

I think there’s something funny in the increase instructions for the sleeves: the number of sts increased and the number of times to work the increases don’t come to the same. (Eg to increase 28 sts total, it says work an increase round of 2sts 12 times total. Which only comes to 24 increased sts, whichever way I count it.) I worked more increase rounds than specified, in order to get to the right number of yoke sts. Maybe the yoke st counts are all wrong, and I should have worked fewer increases, and thus not run the yarn availability so close to the wire? Seems to be a good size with these numbers, anyway.
