Notes

This is another one of those “this pattern doesn’t actually take that long to knit, I just have trouble finding time to work on it” pieces.

Adding a fourth color to the mix because I wanted a more defined color for the ribbing.

I can’t stand to have to flip the whole body around when working sleeves on top-down sweaters, so I used a provisional cast-on to start the sleeve. I “skipped” the first row of the sleeve (for my size, it’s a C color row) and will use that color to graft the sleeve to the body when it’s finished.

Finished in time for Rhinebeck!
