Notes

Started in Feb 2024 and was on the second sleeve when it got too warm out to work on a sweater. Picked it up after holiday knitting. Second sleeve came out very different than the first. Lesson learned.

A quick knit in spite of how long it took me to finish. And an easy pattern. I liked the pattern as soon as it was published and gave me an excuse to try the Cyrano yarn. It’s a great garment yarn.

I knit the body on size 10 needles -must not have had a 10.5. It came out with less ease than I intended but I’m very happy with the fit.

Sweater grew in length with blocking so I popped it in the dryer for 15 minutes when it was still slightly damp. It shortened back to how it fit before blocking, which is what I wanted - boxy, waist length and sleeves just right.

Broke in to the sixth skein to finish the second sleeve.
