9/1 So far only 1 break in the yarn, occurring in the first pink stripe, but was aligned pretty well with no abrupt change in color. Also, yarn much softer than expected! I like that I got all the decreasing out of the way in the first 3 rows of stst!

9/23. Ok so, when working the little sleeves, I learned that I didn’t have enough stitches. I thought “but I have the new pattern!” and did the maths, and the maths were right. I counted my stitches and did the maths backwards. Turns out I only cast on 104 instead of 124 for the second size. IHave decided to work the smallest size, but need to add 28 sts and plan on doing that by CO under the sleeves and PU in the round.

So, sleeves=

Work 51, slip 46, co 7, work 80, co 7, slip 46, work 51.
Work body.
Sleeves: slip 46, PU 7, knit 1 round. Work garter 3 rows, BO.
