Notes

After I finished my Reagan earlier than expected and I stocked up on some more Drops Flora during Alpakafest, I decided to squeeze this cardigan in before I start my Advent Luna.

I meanwhile googled a bit and found out that a Juneberry is a Felsenbirne in German, not a Stachelbeere (which would be a Gooseberry, I think…)

Really love the cozy warm yarn in a shawl collar, so I hope this will be a perfect choice. Will have to look up the provisional cast-on again as I messed this up in my Reagan…

This youtube tutorial from Torsten Duit looks good »

Casted on - the provisional cast on went well, but I managed to misread the pattern - had I had a closer look on the chart, I would have seen that I was supposed to ALTERNATE ssks and k2tg - well, my shawl collar will have a different pattern then… sighs

I finished one half of the collar and am about 12 rows into the second half so far.

November 12, 2019

Finished the collar and picked up to start the raglan increases for fronts, sleeves and back. Runs ok so far.

November 17, 2019

Separated sleeves from the body at 76 stitches for sleeves. I started the second ball of the yarn app. 7 cm before separating the sleeves and I am now app. halfway through this second ball of yarn.

November 18, 2019

Finished 2nd ball of yarn app. 4 rows after second waist increase

November 22, 2019

Finished 3d ball of yarn app. 12 cm after joining, off I go with ball no.4 . I hope that I will be able to finish at least the body in 1 week as I want to start my advent project next sunday…

November 25, 2019

Finished 4th ball of yarn 58 cm after picking up stitches from collar. 1 ball of yarn lasted for 13 cm, so I think I will knit app. to 64 cm before starting the cuffs/ribbing.

November 28, 2019

Finished knitting the body with app. 20 g of my 5th ball left.

Picked up 93 stitches for the sleeves, but used one of the two balls with a different colour number for this.

November 30, 2019

Finished first sleeve. Did 15 decreases every 10 rows and then added the “cuff pattern” as in body.

December 4, 2019

Sneaked in another 30 rows on the second sleeve after I did my “duty” with the advent knitting - so I might be able to finish this by the end of the week…
