Notes

28/1/11 - so close I can taste it. Yuck! Maybe I’ll just wear it instead!

27/1/11 - finished the knitting last night. I have lots of ends to weave in and the embroidery to do and a light steam blocking on the arm and hood ribbing would be great.

I also need to check the errata for the hood tie instructions. My pattern just repeats the hood instructions and that can’t be right.

24/1/11 - finished the shoulder seams today and the edging for the arms (picked up 80 sts). I have less that a full ball of rootbeer left so I have a wild plan to stripe the hood. Yes. I’m going to stripe the hood. My fingers and quite possibly my toes, are crossed…

23/1/11 - I’m not as far along as I’d like to be but I’m almost finished the front. Joined the 4th ball according to the pattern.

21/1/11 - Separated for the front, started the decreases. Started the 3rd ball of yarn.

I added 16 more rows after the colour section. That has given me an extra inch and a half which is perfect. Now I’m just following the pattern and hoping I have enough yarn to knit the hood.

AM - finished the first colour of the pattern, on to the rest…

20/1/11 - Ribbing is done, now on to the st st on 5mm and colourwork!

AM - got almost all the ribbing done on 4.5mm. I’m thinking about dropping the colourwork down to just above the ribbing. I’d like it a bit lower, sitting on my hips vs. around my waist.

19/1/11 - can’t get exact gauge with the 5mms but close enough that blocking will give me a bit extra room if I need it.

13/1/11 - The pattern isn’t here yet but I’ll be winding my skeins this weekend in prep for the January 19th start date!

I can’t wait to start! I’ve had this pattern queued forever! I’m thinking I’ll remain true to the original pattern, maybe with some waist shaping.

4/1/11 - I have the yarn for this, and I ordered the pattern from Jimmy beans today. I love this hoodie vest!

1280 - 1760 yards

22/07/10 - need to order pattern.

so cute
