Notes

I cast on 18.08.
A beautiful yarn, but it has some spinning oils left when sold. You need to wash it before starting to knit. It was well worth the extra effort. The pattern is really only a rough guide to making your own pattern, in swedish - which is ok by me. I am doing 6 stitch cables at the four points of raglan increases, as it is a top-down project. I am also doing 1/1 ribbing around the neck and down the middle, 6 stitches on either side. I am very happy this far.

30.08.
The raglan now measures 28cm, and I am ready to start knitting the sleeves separately. Have used close to 100g of yarn.

04.09.
The sleeves are done, and I am working the bottom part of the body. It is coming together nicely, and I have only used 160g of my yarn. This will be a very lightweight jacket. The plan is to make it short(ish) with 3/4 lenght sleeves.

13.09.
Ok - so I got carried away one late night, and had to rip back about 5cm yesterday. I want a bolero style jacket, so all that is left now is a bit of ribbing on 2mm needles.
