Notes

9/21/19 - Frogging! Will find a better use for this yarn, with smaller needles … something that won’t stretch as much ever again.

Picture with black and white dress is unblocked.

Did a provisional cast on to waste yarn , so I wouldn’t have to pick up later.

Used smaller needles for the ribbing.

I think this would have been much better made in a wool, the bamboo and cotton stretched and the sleeves ended up being very long after one wearing. But. It turned out to be a great comfortable sweater, good for taking walks and wearing around the house. It’s not so great for an extra sweater at work since it’s so loose and floppy.

I’m thinking of adding a little elastic at the base of the sleeves to keep them up on my arms. If I ever get to do that I will take new pictures.
