reworking the color chart for what I have + 5 purchased Unicorn Tails. 11 colors + MC. Yarniac’s Self Indulgent KAL because it’s so very bright and breaks into full skeins I’d been saving, which is very Don’t Hoard the Precious themed from the Sassy Pants Knitter podcast (as well as using the last of…
starting one more sweater before the end of the year! December 24, 2015 Cast on provisionally a row under the arm division. (next time, do several rows first, it would help with stability for the arm holes.) Work upward! December 30, 2015 finished fronts and back and 3 needle bind off. this took almost all…

(combined setup rows 1 and 2) Increased the circumference of the sleeves by completing 14 repeats. Blocked the sleeves before seaming – this gave a clearer picture of how…
short sleeve, cuffs and button band using the dyed yarn. rest will be handspun, alternating skeins.
I had stockpiled some Risata before it was discontinued, and then hoarded it to find the perfect project because I wouldn’t be able to get more! With upcoming summer travel, I wanted some summer tops that fit well in the shoulders and loosely flowed down. I’m loving dresses, so I wanted to optimize the length…
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…
