Notes

NOTE about Yarn: Loving this yarn. The charcoal is noticeably less hairy than other shades, which I like.
7 DEC
The arms were looking big so I stopped at 104 stitches across the back for the raglan increases, and joined immediately under the arms without adding any more stitches under arms.

29 DEC
doing twisted rib edging
Doing the sleeves flat because I just can’t be bothered with magic loop. Added one stitch under arm (6 instead of 5).
Why did I decide to do flat arms?? I dislike seaming! It’s a pain…
