Notes

I am going to run out of the Fleece Artist yarn - what to do? I have some Malabrigo lace weight in blue, but that is 2 ply versus the Fleece Artist 3 ply. Hmmm …
Used the Malabrigo lace for the collar and lower halves of the sleeves. Tricky sticky yarn and almost impossible to correct mistakes. This is not a masterpiece and the body is too short but the sleeves are long enough. It is lovely and light and warm so it will be a good house caddie.
Best part was doing I-cord bind off all around the shawl collar and the sleeve cuffs. Wonderful refined finish and nicely stretchy.
