Knitted in one piece from the bottom up. I dislike seaming. I really should have left a stitch between the decreases, but it blocked out just fine.

Body is too short as written. I discovered this after knitting the beginning of the color work. Ripped it out and ended up adding two inches to the body. Sleeves too.

Went up one needle size for the color work to preserve the gauge.

Added short rows to raise the back of the neck.

Ladder back jacquard to carry the floats on the sleeves. I also did not want to do duplicate stitch.

Loving this yarn while knitting, and after a soak/dry I like it even more.

Sleeve swatching rather than a traditional gauge swatch. After washing the sleeve (still on the needles) I have found that size 5 needle gives too many stitches per inch. Size 6 is better. Not perfect, but better.
