Notes

This is replacing the Plain Vanilla Sweater pattern. I was not liking the fabric created by using the larger needle size the pattern called for. I’m using the 6’s on this one and it’s much nicer.

1-15-09 update…After taking this out of hiding, I decided to work on it a while. I found my size 4 circ’s and picked up a ton of stitches for the neck, and started ribbing away. I did a VDD in the center of the V-neck, which I think looks amazing. I don’t remember how many rows I did; I just kept going until I liked the look of it. Now I’m back to the body part, and it’s almost ready for me to put the sleeves on waste yarn and work on the body part only.

Sometime in August of 2010 - so hubby sees me working on the sweater and asks if I’m trying to finish it in time for the fair? I laugh. There’s no way I can finish this up! Then I finished up the sleeves. And did a few inches on the body. Tried it on and realized I needed about 4 more inches and then a bottom border. Oh my gosh, I could finish this in time for the State Fair. And I did. Holy Cow.

8-1-10 - I’m attempting to magic loop the arms, to make sure I do them the same. I’m decreasing every once in a while, and will most likely stop around the 3/4 length.

Used this for the bottom border.
