Notes

Since I bought this yarn the recipient has grown a lot! Now making a men’s size. Went down a needle size to get gauge.

Making progress after a few months of knitting shutdown (moths! All yarn was quarantined, luckily most is unscathed as the main problem involved a carpet…)
12 March 2016 - divided arm stitches, work on body.

14 March - tested knit on teenage recipient. The fit looks good! Continued with body.

20 Apr 2016. Ends woven in - all done. Very pleased with the result. It’s quite a heavy sweater but not at all “wooly”. The Remix gives a slightly chewy, fluffy cotton feel that is cosy without being itchy.

I did consider an ochre yellow stripe but my son preferred just grey and white stripes. The grey is a lovely colour.

Looks good on the young man :)
