Notes

alternative to kate spade saturday’s sexy back sweater.

heichi is definitely not the easiest thing to knit with, I feel like all the joints in my hands are giving out on me.

work stockinette stitch on fronts until all neck decreases are done; going to knit garter front on both sides simultaneously to ensure evenness.

it’s hard to keep kitchener stitch at an even tension with this yarn; and grafting garter stitch requires meeting two rows one knit one purl in order to look right, and i forgot… which i’m noticing with other projects of this pattern. a little bit of clarity by the pattern writer would have been appreciated, since it’s not often that one kitcheners garter stitch.
