I wanted to knit this for ages and I recently got myself the Tin Can Knits App. This is the first time I use it and I really like it! Mine is project number 12373 as I start this in July 2024.
This will probably be a very cropped sweater as I want to use up my leftover yarns first. Might have to buy a little more if it is too short. But I really like how the app guides you through and you can only see what you currently need.
Did not do the provisional cast on, but started with the ribbing at once.

Ended my 1st red ball in row 4 of my last pattern repeat in the yoke.

Started raglan increases - I think I might accidentaly have done 3 pattern repeats instead of 2…

Separated sleeves from the body, will be finishing my partial ball of the light grey cotton app. 1 cm below arms
July 5, 2024
Started short rows when I ran out of my second grey yarn ball, which was only about 10 cm after sleeve separation.
Did 1 row plain with red, did the short rows and will knit until I run out of the red yarn before starting the ribbing.

Had the knitting finished on July 5 but was on holiday inbetween, so I only have sewn in the ends today.

Tried it on for the first time and took in-wear photos. The sleeves could be a little wider for my taste and the two-color version is not what I would have chosen, but this was the yarn I had. I crocheted a row of slipped stitches around the neck to tighten it up a little and I think I will definitely have to make another one in a winter version.
I really enjoyed knitting with the app, highly recommend it!
