You can never make too many of Heidi Kirrmaier’s patterns says she who made about 5 Vitamin D (and counting).
For a change, I want to cast on a sweater as my summer project, and I love the eylet element of Vitamin D, so I chose this one.
I currently plan to make it with 3/4 or long sleeves and not as wide as given in the pattern - we will see…

Worked on this the whole sunday, very good ebook-reading-knitting! I am now shortly before the end of the 4th eylet set. Really liked the yarnover shortrows.

Finished the 8th eyelet row and I am confident I might be able to separate the sleeves from the body this weekend. Really like it so far!

Finished 4th front radial increase - made a mistake and seperated for the sleeves after 7th eylet row instead of 8th, so I plan to do 1 more eylet row for the body.
June 3, 2019
Finished body. I did a total of 7 eylet rows in the body (to compensate that I only did 7 instead of 8 before sleeve separation). Then I finished of with 1by1 rib for the lower edge, to match the neckline.
I just had to break into my 5th out of 6 50g balls,, so I will have a bit less than a ball each for the sleeves.
I hope what all the other Ravelers say about the length to come with blocking is true, as I currently thing it could use a little more length…
And of course it is waaaay too warm today (being the first day with more than 32 degrees celsius this summer…)

Picked up 90 stitches for the sleeve.
Plan to decrease 2 stitches every 6 rows.
June 8, 2019
Did 10 decreases every 6 rows and will add a short ribbing 6 rows after the tenth decrease.

Finished 2nd sleeve in a day and wove in ends, now it lies on our terrace table for drying.
I am still a little concerned with the “fluffy halo” of that yarn, I am afraid it might pill like hell… Not exactly what I espected from a yarn with bamboo in it - I hoped it would have a nice shine to it, but this is barely visible…
We will see. At least I hope it got a little more length in the washing.

Took in-wear photos. If I made it again, I would definitely separate the sleeves from the body earlier, the armhole is really deep and adds material where I do not really want it.
However, the in-wear photos are not soooo flattering, it looks better in real live.
Pilling so far is not as bad as I feared, it is more a fluff than pilling.
