PLANNING: Use TdF2021 handspun (DnD Fibers) for main color. Sun Valley in Wine, Onyx, and Intermission are coming for the colorwork. Plan to continue colorwork at the underbust (possibly with a band of corrugated ribbing first). Bought the pattern from Jessica McDonald’s site. September 26: wound yarn and swatched in the round September 28: cast…

One purl row of main color, then start intarsia block of imagination (keeping the neckband the same on both ends using each skein on either…
April sweater March 27, 2016 joined fronts and back and started working one piece flat.
march top; 2 colors alternating, then finish with spectrum? March 2, 2016 confusion over the right side and wrong side of the chart and I had to restart after 6 or 7 rows because the chart wasn’t making sense. restarted with written instructions – even rows are right side. cast on with German twisted cast-on…
