Notes

I was searching for a colourwork yoke project when this test popped up on my IG feed. It had colourwork cuffs and yoke and hem. Sold

Let’s be clear-this is a very finely detailed pullover. Jamie didn’t just insert some charts into a Generic pullover.

We have a disappearing rib, we have a textured body, and lovely colourwork charts each w their own personality.

I love it

Wasn’t sure about the size-not used to much ease in a pullover but this worked out nicely. (BC I live in Canada a sweater is never a top layer it must fit under a jacket/coat and if the sweater has more ease than the winter jacket then the sweater will not be worn. A lumpy sweaty uncomfortable mess!

In any case-I picked up a few extra sts at underarm and knit even and it is still a touch snug (at underarm-biceps are comfortable)

Love holst garn on cones for sweater bodies-and used fingering from stash for the accents. I love the dandelion motif in pink the best and as I type this I think I will add a dandelion polka dot pullover to my queue!
