Notes

1.10.2010
Swatching.

1.17.2010
Began today and got as far as the first buttonhole. The collar and reversible cables are done in a 1x1 ribbing which I realized that I HATE while working on my brother’s scarf. Oy. I went down a needle size for a couple of reasons: (1) I got gauge with the needles called for and the extra small size may still be too big, (2) the sweater is supposed to minimal ease, and (3) the yarn may grow a bit when blocked. I’m pumped to be using this yarn for the sweater. I bought it when the store was going out of business so it cost about $3 a skein!

1.21.2010
FINALLY started the raglan increases.

1.28.2010
I had put this down for a while because I was starting to feel like it was going to come out too small. I’ve decided to persevere and just keep going. The worst thing that can happen is that it doesn’t fit and I’ll need to reknit it. Ugh. I don’t even want to think about that.

3.18.2010
Finally finished with the sleeve increases. The gauge is tight and doesn’t slide easily but I love the color.

3.19.2010
Sleeves have been separated.

4.7.2010
Began waist shaping tonight.

4.14.2010
I finished the waist shaping today. I need to knit a total of 12” from the armpit and right now I’m at inch number 10. Almost there!

4.15.2010
Beginning 1x1 ribbing on bottom edge tonight.

4.16.2010
All done. Needs to be blocked.
