Notes

I’m adding buttonholes; besides that I’m doing the pattern as written, trying on for fit as I go.

02-17-2019

So far my colors are:
Elation> Impulse> Vitalize> Whimsy> Delight> Inspired and then I’m planning on Rooted> Untamed> Savvy> Harmonious

I used the full skeins of the first 2 colors, and then I started saving partial skeins of the rest to use on the sleeves.

02-22-2019

I’ve now added Rooted (for a short stripe) and Untamed (will do this for a wide stripe). It’s fitting well! Not sure how long I’ll make it, we’ll see.

03-29-2019

Finished it last night!! It’s drying now. It’s huge and thick, so it’ll be dry and ready to photograph hopefully in a couple of days.

It’s LONG! I kept going so I could get through all the colors I wanted to use. I still only got through the main 9; I had 2 more just in case and definitely didn’t need them!

Since it’s so long… I MIGHT decide to add patch pockets! We’ll see.

Oh and, in a previous note I said I was following the pattern as written (except for buttonholes) but I forgot I also skipped the waist shaping.

Oops I marked it as finished, but I still have to add buttons! Also, possible pockets… but the main knitting is finished, and I might wear it to work on Monday without either of those things ;)

The final colors used are:

Elation
Impulse
Vitalize
Whimsy
Delight (Tonal)
Inspired
Rooted (Tonal)
Untamed
Savvy (Tonal)

When I switched to a new color, I worked the first row/round K1, Sl1 so the stripes are a bit blendy.
