Adapting from original pattern to use worsted weight and knit shorter length. k-co 23 stitches for about 3” square blocks.
putting totals used for blanket, sweater, and hoodie in this entry for ease of measuring – I didn’t weigh skeins between projects! still need to enter marshmallow, grey, and green tea which are overlapping with Lisa’s gifts.

JMCO 12st 2 at a time, on longer bent circs; after increases, switched to 9” circs to zoom zoom concurrently. gauge is a bit tighter on these needles, ~10/in. increased to 38. increase mid foot and before heel to 42. knit to 7.25” before FLKH. 1-13-14-13-1 these ended up too long, gifted to Karen.
for SZ: add stranded piece to top? for whatcha swatchin: oldest sweater quantity (sept 2008, I think), oldest buttons from BI. Added fair isle hearts to the top edge, and a single row of dots above the ribbing on the sleeves and bottom edge. the accent color was also used to attach the fringe edges…
This is a top down, set in sleeve opening, open front flowing vest, using a Fade-like concept to transition between colors. using math from The Handy Book of Top Down Sweaters by AnnBudd and the measurements I used that fit well from the Meris. starting with Wisteria, held double, for the top of the shoulders….
I modified this pattern to add a higher leg and then to fit my foot and gauge. I found this one because the Trampoline was stretchy, which sounded similar to Cascade Fixation. I did the heel and toe slightly different, based on the Simple Sock from Socks, Socks, Socks.
knitting a shorter short one to use up this small skein of handspun and participate in the Yarnings Podcast knitalong! started with about 19g, ended with 1g. wound the rest on my little niddy noddy, about 14yds left. did less repeats of each of the 4 motifs.
