Notes

Just hope I’ve got enough yarn!

5” down from body/sleeve separation, and I’ve got 93g of yarn left.

66g used so far. This is going to be tight, hoping I’ve got enough for long sleeves. It was the very last cone available, or I’d have bought 2.
2” on the body is taking 10g, think I should just make it. I’ll leave the body on the needle at the point when there’s 50g on the cone to knit the sleeves, and come back to it if there’s any left and I want to make it a bit longer. I’d rather make the body shorter than the sleeves ending up too short.
This yarn will spit splice. It consist of 2 strands of cashmere along with 3 strands of very fine cotton. I’ll just cut out the cotton and spit splice the cashmere together, as I’ve done on other projects.

Mods:
I picked up every stitch at the back neck, then cast off purl wise to stabilise it. I know this yarn has no memory, so if it stretches, it stays…
All ribbings done on 2.75mm for the same reason.
I also bound off the body and sleeves in pattern.

Apart from that I followed the pattern exactly.

All worked out perfectly, with 4.5g of yarn left!
It’s blocking, and I can’t wait for it to dry.
Blocked measurements:
Bust 39”
Length from top of shoulder/back neck, 23”
Inside sleeve, 18.5”
