Notes

Loosely based on color scheme from this Array sweater.
Gauge: 4.75 st/in with 7’s
5 st/in with 6’s (row height 6 st)
Originally, I was set to do this with several different colors of Comfy Worsted, but the colors just weren’t as vibrant (read “rainbowy”) as I was hoping for. So, I broke into my rainbow Felici Sock yarn (held double) for each of the colorwork sections. You really don’t need much of each color, and this worked out fabulously!

Ran out of yarn (misread the yardage) and had to order more… so this project is hold for a week :)

Yarn arrived, and I have picked up and knitted the button bands (went with 6 buttons), as well as one sleeve. I am not happy with the striping on the sleeves.. since it is only a one row color change, there is quite a jog at the join.. but I don’t know of anyway to address this with a one row color change (argh!)

All ends woven in (and there were a LOT of ends, since I was using sock yarn doubled for the color portions), and buttons sewn on. Now, on the modeling :)
