Notes

Swatch gauge 25/29 on 4s.
Trying to decide which color to use as my main color vs stripes. I’m leaning towards the silver as the main.
I’m actually now thinking about using some purple yarn I have in my stash from a frogged project for the stripes.

This is my first time working the contiguous shoulder and it took me a couple repeats of the striping to really getting into the swing of things. I thought about frogging back to the beginning to start again but didn’t. I figured only I would really notice that the cable wasn’t as clean as it could have been, but then I got to the Sleeve Cap II section and something was off. My stitch counts weren’t correct over one front panel/sleeve. I had dropped a stitch and had to pick it up and thought maybe I messed something up then… but I could not figure it out so I decided it was a sign to start all over.
Frogged and worked my way back to the point of the Sleeve Cap I. I was much happier with the cabling this time – so starting over was totally worth it. But after doing the first two rounds of Sleeve Cap I, I realized that the count was off again.
I tinked back two rows and tried the P row again where you move the markers. That’s were I was having an issue. I’m not sure if it was me or the pattern, but I was getting the wrong stitch counts when I moved the first Mb by following the directions as written. The 2nd Mb replacement worked fine. In the end, I ended up just adjusting the markers making sure I had the right number of stitches on the front panels… and then all was well.

Ran into another moment of confusion. The Sleeve Cap III section has the M2 size listed twice. From what I can tell the first one is a mistake. Just do the directions listed with the M2, L and be sure to double check the total stitch counts before moving on.
