Notes

Intend to make this with longer sleeves so I purchased an extra skein of yarn.

I am quite happy with this but next time I make it with longer sleeves than the pattern recommends, I’ll be sure to start the ribbing right away, or to remove a few stitches in the upper arm before starting to rib. I think the uppermost part of the arm should have a more slender profile. 60 stitches is too many for my upper arm circumference. I need more like 52.

I love the yarn - the cashmere adds just a bit of softness - but I’m afraid to wash it vis a vis my Debbie Bliss DK yarn-growing debacle. Will steam block for now…

I have no idea of who I gave this to, eventually, but I no longer have it.
