Notes

Got to row 19 and then remembered that i was supposed to be working decreases (had been too preoccupied with working out the colours). Have missed four decreases so will try and fudge and will have to do same on fronts!

My colour scheme is very different:
A Smoke (a pale bluey grey)
B Dark blue
C Pale lavender
D Clover pink
E White
F Teal
G Black
H Olive

I swore I wouldn’t do another stranded cardigan in the flat again without at least working in one piece until the armholes but this is a mismatched cardigan with different patterns on the fronts. So here I am again… With millions of ends. I am weaving in as I go (seemed to be the easiest way to do the ends) so that all I will have to do when I am finished is trim.

Finished the back today 18th January.
Currently on the second front (8th Feb) and the final line of the graph for the left front (large star) is missing. To be consistent with every other time the zigzag pattern is used, there should be a plain line of the background colour before one begins the pattern at the beginning again.

Starting sleeves 13th Feb. Other knitters have commented on row tension I am increasing every six rows.

Second prize Newcastle Show 2016 article hand knitted in two or more colours.
