Notes

Finally finished :) I eventually felt the love for seaming it up :)

PS this ended up going to Torsparkles.. it’s lovely but knitting the correct bust size = too big over the shoulders - this is to do with my physiology not the pattern, I have narrow shoulders.

27/02 Have sewn together the shoulder seam in preparation for doing the neck. So far I haven’t found the will to check and see if I have the right size circ to actually knit it though.
23/02 Back and sleeves blocking, ran out of space and pins, will block front tomorrow and start sewing/neck.
22/02 Second sleeve all done, blocking to do, the neck and sewing up.
21/02 Sleeve finished.. I have quite a lot of yarn
left, Manos does seem to go for miles.
18/02 Front is finished, I have to say it is very beautiful :) The picture of the front and back do not do it justice, I must get one with better lighting.
16/02 Have gotten past the chevron on the front, half way to the armhole shaping. Enjoying taking it easy.
13/02 Poddling along with this a few rows here and there
04/02/10 Hoping that I have recaught the knitting bug.
18/7 Back finished, front cast on.
15/6 Only up to the armpits on the back, not been feeling the knitting LOVE :S
02/06 this started life as a cardigan, but it’s been frogged and will now make a sweater instead :)
29/05 thinking about frogging the cardigan and reknitting to the pattern of the sweater, and also a smaller size now I am thinner….

Got gauge with the Manos by using 6mm needles.
