Notes

I’m still in the throws of my obsession with this lustrous umber/ochre color that reminds me of oak leaves in the late fall. I’m holding this contrast color double to get the proper gauge. I adore how these yarns are working together.

I’ve added some length and a-line shaping so that the sweater will demonstrate that gorgeous drape that is one of Sylvan Spirit’s superpowers. I hope to have it done in the next couple of weeks.

Finished sweater weighs 13 oz.
