Notes

Pattern is released mid june!

17/03-2012: It’s finished! I’m very pleased. The lady in the store where I bought the buttons did not like the ones that I picked out, but I wanted a simple look that did not disturb the scallop edges.

27/02-2012: It is coming together slowly, but I’ve got patience. I had to rip about 4 inches of white after the pattern, I did too loose gauge. The sleeves are going to be fitted, for a change, not raglan. Not quite sure if I can pull it of with out a pattern, but I guess I give it a try. Raglan can in that case be my backup plan.

05/02-2012: Yesterday I started on a cardigan with the pattern from the swatch. I’m not sure how to fit the arm - raglan or not?. It’s bottom-up for sure at least.

23/01-2012: Just in the preliminary phase of something. Making test swatches and thinking. I have to finish some WIP’s before I can concentrate on this one.
