Notes

Likes:

  • length of sleeve and the sleeve cuff,
  • colour,
  • short row shape of lower body,
  • pockets,

Don’t likes:

  • too loose in shoulder/upper arm area,
  • that my waistline is not as nice as the jackets one :)
  • 13-12-06: The wool shrinked at any washing - still fits, a bit tight, but expecially the arms are shortened :(

February 2012
Unbelievable … it took me more than 2 month to take time for weaving in the ends and adding the buttons.
But now I’m done … finished and wearing it :)

November - I’ll be back :)
Finished the sleeves and added their cuff. Knitting was done on 21st of November - still need to weave in ends and sewing of the buttons.

July
Seems I knitted one and a half sleeve in July but then the project fall asleep

26th of June:
300g are done :)
I simulated the sleeves with a provisional cast on - I will than knit down the sleeves.

19th of June:
A lot of things I did for the first time:

  1. I-cord edge
  2. short rows in a jacket
  3. one-row buttonhole - I like it!!!
  4. insert of pockets

I did start with the body instead nof the sleeves - I’m still worried, that I don’t have enough yarn, so I start with the body to get a feeling. Now i’m finfished with my first 100g of cherry-yarn already have ~25cm (out of 60) and can start after 3 more rows with the bust inscrease - at the moment I have a good feeling.

11th of June 2011:
I started with the pocket lining - never did this pattern before but like the effect of the slipped stitches wyif :)
I changed the colour every row (to save cherry-yarn)
needed 36 rows

04th of June 2011:
My gauge is slightly different (20 stitches instead of 22) so I decide to knit 2 sizes smaller: 94 instead of 104 - now I start to fill in the numbers (I like this feature in the pattern)


I knit with 2 colours:

  1. Kirschtrüffel (cherry truffle): I have 4 skeins
  2. Südfrüchte (tropical fruits): I have 2 skeins --> The plan is to make 2 rows Cherry and 1 tropical (gauge with 3-1 colour change)
