Notes

Like many other knitters I was really disappointed with how the neckline looked and fitted. It was way too high and tight, feeling more like a turtle neck than the lovely loose round neckline of the sweater in the images used on the pattern.
Modifications : I ripped back everything to 3 rows before the colourwork started and then knitted up 5 rows of ribbing before binding off loosely. Neck is still a little high but much more comfortable than before!
Everything else is just perfect. I worked 6.5 repeats of body pattern (I had enough yarn to do another repeat if necessary but the length is great)
