I really dropped the ball on moving my Ravelry posts over to my website. I’m determined to get it done this week. I completed this project in February 2020. There’s not much to note about the project. I followed the pattern for the body without any alterations. When I got to the sleeves, I made a mistake and didn’t pick up enough stitches under the armpit (4 to be exact). I’ve stopped at 8 repeats instead of 10. I have the recommended number of stitches, 74. Then I complete 34 rows for the cuff. The pattern calls for arms way too long. If I had picked up the correct number of stitches, I would have stopped when I had 78 stitches remaining. This is so far my most favorite sweater I’ve knitted. I wear it constantly in the winter.

I can’t see a way to comment on your post. Just wanted to let you know that this is beautiful! It feels so you. It is so satisfying how all the colours are in other garments that you wear.

I have so much yarn leftover from this project that I have a cable knit vest planned next! I hope it works out :-)
