Notes

A very fun knit!

Except of course, for me, the sleeves, they seem to take longer than the rest of the project ;) But that’s just me!

I made sleeves probably a bit longer than pattern with 74 rows for the stockinette stitch part only.
I hope they will be a bit too long, this girl’s arms seem to grow by the minute! The cardis I knit last month already seem short!

I used exactly 500 yards, 2 skeins. So if I were to do this one again, I would “save” myself some yards here and there with eliminating a row or two, so I can actually cast off properly at the end ;)

Yarn: This was the first time for me using a yarn from this company. I truly enjoyed knitting with “Classy”, it washes to be so soft and fluffy, but not fuzzy. Very nice. It was also the first time for me alternating rows with two skeins at the same time, and that was very easy to do, no hassle at all. I really like the rich color and uneven distribution of the saturation! It bled a bit in the wash, but that was to be expected with red. It never stained my fingers while knitting, so a perfect dye job.
