tried gauge and I am good to go with 4.5mm needles.
20 Dec- cast on!

This has been a rather quick knit. I actually finished it last night, the 2nd January!

Here are my notes:
While the FO is absolutely adorable, I did find the pattern slightly confusing. I figured it our in the end, but it would help if at the end of a section where you increase, decrease or split your project you would get a total number of stitches you are supposed to end up with, to ensure that you are on the right track. I guessed mine, and it seems ok, but I have no way of making sure.

I also find it helpful to be given a short overview of the pattern, basically saying that it’s a top down, raglan sweater, with a few more notes before I start. But that is jsut a personal preference.

I certainly recommend the knit, it came out beautifully, and I like it in the Malabrigo.

I just have to add the buttons and weave in ends, block, and I can photograph!
