Notes

I finished the neckline today and have started the work even section of the front before joining the front to the back. I’m fascinated with the construction of this sweater and have found it both fun and challenging! I can never get w&t short rows to look good so I did Japanese short rows instead.

I have the first sleeve nearly completed. I’ve tried it on a few times now and I like how it looks. My lateral braid is a bit tight and the shoulders seem funny but I’m hoping that blocking will fix that.

Finally got around to sewing a ribbon to the back neckline to keep it from stretching. It fits so well now!
