Notes

jess brought me yarn from victoria because she is the best and coolest. IM MAKING A COZY JACKETY THING SO I CAN BE WARM FOREVER

<3 <3

this immense bag of yarn weighs NOTHING. woolenspun yarn, where have you been all my life??

i have never been so excited to swatch in my whole damn life.

(june 21)i was at the point of dividing the fronts and back when i realized the two fronts had noticeably different stitch counts. i had to rip out the WHOLE THING and START OVER. my heart is a little broken, but i will recover. i decided to do plain 3x2 ribbing because i HATED knitting the slip stitch garter rib, and wasnt crazy about how it looked anyway. bleh. fine.

(july 19) i am on a crazy mission to finish this in the next 48 hours (while also working and preparing to leave town for 10 days) because i want to wear it at camp and fill it with magic. i finished the body at 3:45am on Friday night but the first sleeve is taking TOO LONG. in this humidity, i think it will need a long time to dry… i need buttons. AAAHHHHH!
