Notes

Gauge with 2.75 mm needle.

Love it! This was a really fun knit, and I’m looking forward to making another one in wool in the fall.

I did modify the ribbing at the waist to be a little looser, because I don’t like my tummy to be squeezed :-) And I may sew up the boat neck just a teeny bit. I love the boat neck, but I don’t like constantly having to adjust my bra straps so they don’t show!

Hubby took the pictures at the Art Institute of Chicago in the South Garden. I had fun playing with my vintage scarf and pretending like I was a lady from the ’50s (even though the sweater design is from the ’30s).

More info on my blog.
