I’m enjoying this pattern so much, and I can’t wait to be wearing the jumper.

(Many many thanks to sandandskycreations for the recommendation)

It didn’t start well, I misread the pattern and started on the wrong size needles, and somehow twisted the work during the ribbing, so the curled bottom edge turned out a bit too flared and purl-side-out.

I wondered whether to simply make the cuffs and neck to match, but took off those first few rows (easier than I expected) and re-knit them. Turned out really well and I love the curled edge now.

After the long slog of the body, turns out that you have to knit both sleeves before you get to the fun bit of the yoke. Looking forward to that.

Finished on April Fool’s Day. I loved every minute. It was the most ambitious colour work I’ve done, 3 colours on some rows.

A friend encouraged me to try ‘pick and throw’ which was very successful and speeded the knitting up no end.
