Notes

My goal was to document the length of time it takes an advanced-beginner dude to create a sweater. I had live-streamed the creation of this sweater on my Twitch.tv channel. Every stitch was shown over 33h46m!

Regarding gauge, I’m making the XL size, casting on about 218 stitches. This may give me between 40”-43” around, depending on my tension and before blocking.

The sweater is more of a cranberry-maroon-wine colour, though the photos are showing it as a pink-magenta.
