Notes

Just want a simple jumper out of this colourful wool which looks great in the skein, but I’m not too sure about it knitted up. Had to frog a previous pattern as it was just too bulky.

Happy with how this turned out. I made the sleeves a little shorter and didn’t do the waist decreases, although I did do the hip increases. It fits quite well. I would definitely use this pattern again for a solid colour jumper even though there are a few mistakes in the pattern (you definitely don’t purl 8 rounds at any point!). Not sure I’d use Big Wool Colour again for anything other than a scarf or cowl - it was a bit difficult to use with all the nubs and weaving in ends took some muscle!
