adjusting gauge for yarn weight. Knitting in the round (rather than a cardy) as can tell the yarn has a tendency to stretch - and because I need a new hoodie. Little bit of yarn chicken. So far, knock on wood, it seems to be working out.

The pattern, as with all Ann Kingstone patterns, is gorgeous.

Finished with 11grams spare. Definitely wouldn’t knit with this yarn again, but at least I have finally used it.

Modifications
Hoodie rather than cardigan & started slightly higher on hips. To knit in the round, put 6 knit stitches inbetween the two front cable bands cast these off at start of armholes. Adjusted ribbing edge to ensure that the knits & purls lined up for the cable.

Did do a 6th pattern repeat on the arms (I have long arms..)

On chart E, on row 5 I knit together the purl stitches at either end of the chart (ending with 10 p stitches) so that the ribbing edge would flow more smoothly from pattern. this meant I also adjusted pattern slightly in ribbing edge for symmetry.

Note on binding off: Did a yarnover every 4th stitch binding off the hood. Did a yarnover every 2nd stitch binding off the cuffs. Happy with both choices.

British banter challenge #3
this yarn has is so deep stash I almost got the bends fishing it out. It’s from a John Lewis annual haberdashery sale in, I think, 2005. Bought when I was a novice knitter and didn’t know better.
