Notes

Making this for a second time. This time all the yarns come from a batch of yarn that I was given so most of the yarn balls are partials and have no labels.

I selected an assortment of purples to make with a white as a base color for the body.
A = unknown
B = unknown
C = Essence of Lilac, Less Traveled Yarn
C = unknown long color change magenta/purples

Sleeve cuffs -variegated black/grey partial.
Used the same white from the body as the solid throughout the sleeve.
Bottom sleeve body variegated color -- mottled purple very similar to body but slightly different fiber content. Used it until it ran out then changed to new color.
Top sleeve body variegated color -- continued with the sparkly pastel variegated that was used for the last few upper rows of the middle body.

Started yoke with a brown variegated for contrast. Then the first striped yoke band is a combination of variegated grey with purple splotches alternating with the same dark purple used on the body hem.
