Notes

3/27/19- Planning a sweater KAL with my sister Suzi. Yarn ordered! My color palette is inspired by the lovely Feather and Fern knit by Treehouse-Nisse.

3/30- yarn arrived!

3/31- swatched to check gauge

4/15- CO 90 (size G) in size 5 needles. Knit two extra rows of stockinette before starting my color work. Knitting body on size 7 needles.

4/17- have completed up to row 20 of chart. Tried on over my head to check neck size and am pleased with the smaller neck opening.

4/22- finished the yoke and divided the arm/body stitches. Realized I was using a size 7 needle the whole time even though I had intended to use a size 6. Also realized I skipped the increase round just prior to colorwork so my yoke is a size F. I increased in the bust area to get back to a size G.

4/24- skipping waist shaping

4/29- took a break from body and started an arm. Fits well thru arm.

5/1- Knitting away on the body… I’m knitting for a total body length of 16” from CO edge underarm and then will start the ribbed hem. I did work the hip increases to ensure a nice roomy fit thru the hips.

5/15- Finished!
