Notes

Noro leftovers with a wool/silk single I dyed with indigo, and a thin stripe in between indigos of leftover handspun. I CO as for Small and am working up to Medium-ish, to keep the neckline from being too expansive. Not sure how I’ll look in a boatneck but we’ll see I guess!

9/5 Finally went back and crocheted around the neckline to stop it sagging and give it some definition. Used a size F hook and leftover indigo yarn; did a single crochet into every other CO stitch. Snugged it up nicely without puckering, fits much more securely now!

2/23 After some deliberation, have decided on half-sleeves… yes, I’m finally making a short-sleeved sweater, despite calling them “foolish” and “useless” for ages. ::cough:: Half-sleeves are comfy, can be supplemented with armwarmers, and don’t interfere with wrist splints or wheels… And it makes sense I guess since this is most likely to be worn with tank tops. It is actually next-to-skin soft, despite the Noro stripes.
