Notes

Gauge is big, so I’m just going to go down a garment size instead of a needle size.

This seemed like a huge project at first, but it’s going really quickly! Update: It no longer feels like it’s going quickly…

(Oct-Dec: Hibernating until Christmas knitting is done!)

Jan 18, 2015. Finished front and started sleeves (two at a time- CO both on my circ.s and knit from two balls of yarn).

Feb 12. Finished knitting sleeves! Holy crap that took forever I never want to knit seed stitch again. Only used 6.4 skeins (before the collar).

Feb 14. Blocking!

I did the collar and decided I didn’t like it… I ripped it out and it’s been hibernating for a long time now.

Ok, FINALLY redid the collar! Pics after I weave in ends :)
