Notes

13.02.2016

Ordered Plomo for this, but I didn’t like the contrast. Hunted up Sand Bank in Arroyo at The Yarn Lady. Cast on. Done with ribbing and CC rows. Lots of dye transfer from the Purpuras…

15.02.2016

11.5” into body

19.02.2016

Done with lower torso. On to sleeves tomorrow.

21.02.2016

Done with forearms… I think I did one backwards
:/

24.02.2016

Ripped one sleeve back and reversed it. Back on track about 12” into both sleeves joined ITR in magic loop.

06.03.2016

Had some logistic issues with the intarsia and right/left sleeve magic loop. Didn’t think it through first. Joined sleves to body, and its all good now; raglan decreases begun. :-)

12.03.2016

In the home stretch after some confusion of my own making and then ripping back. I really hate frogging … and confusion …

16.03.2016

All done sewing and weaving ends. It fits great; just needs a light block to smarten it up and there will be more pictures.

18.03.2016

Uploaded photos. The ILY was accidental, but a happy accident.

Maybe it was subconscious because I LOVE this sweater! Thanks for the opportunity to test this AliciaPlum!
