Notes

4/8/16 - so…. this sweater never got worn, and was honestly a tige to small. so it’s going to grow up to be a boxy instead.

need 1260 yds, ordered 7 skeins malabrigo worsted 4/8/12

Plan: 2 weeks sleeves, 2 weeks fronts, 2 weeks back, (block & seam shoulders), 2 weeks button band and finish seaming.

Considering 37” back and 41” fronts for better fit.

Managed to cast on on the first day of my Mercedes KAL!

Started with the sleeves. My first repeat of the chart is roughly 2.5 inches.

Finished sleeve 1 in 5 days!

Learn from my mistakes. Do NOT make minimal notes when you know you’ll be having to do exactly what you just did. Even if you’re doing it within the next week. You’ll screw it up. EXTENSIVE notes, people.

Finished the back on 8/23! More extensive notes about where decreases happened this time… heh.

Finished left front 8/31 after casting on on 8/28. This thing is FLYING off the needles.
