Notes

I knitted this sweater from left-overs from my stash. The wool had different yardage and I knitted the rows (unintentionally) different. Some very loose, some tight.
But just this irregularity looks beautiful.

The sweater looks nice after blocking.

Except for the messy side seam it became actually beautiful. Next time I will read a tutorial first before I knit alternating stripes. ;)

I frogged the last increase. The A-shape was much too strong at the seam because of the bulky yarn. Knitted without increases to the end.

:( seems that these alternating stripes are too much for me. There is an unbelievable mess on the WS seam - five colors in a total disaster.
