Notes

Love how the colours and textures keep popping up in my knitting. It will keep me interested :)

Nice pattern so far, I like an interesting knit!

I have added 2 stutches under the arms on the body side and will pick up 4 sts at the underarms when knitting the sleeves.

After working the bust shaping I worked 4 inches straight ending on a K row

Place Markers: p19 PM p20 PM p to last 39 sts, PM 20 PM p19

Next row: #k to marker, inc 1, SM, k to next marker, SM, inc 1 rep from # once, K to end of row.

work 3 rows
Rep last 4 rows until desired length, I made mine a fair bit longer than the pattern says, think I have done 6 dec repeats…

Edging all done, needed to use one of my knitpro joiners for the first time, it’s a long way round the perimeter of this cardi. Only 3 rows though so not so bad…

Doing the yoke bit now, love how it is shaping up

Sleeves next!
Wish you could feel this…it is amazing, soft, silky, bouncy, delicious!

I picked up 4 stitches under each arm for the sleeves.
Worked the increase row 12 times and then worked 10 rounds straight before doing the 6 garter stitch rows.
