I only used one size needle for this project. The further along I get, the looser my stitches get, so I decided to forego the larger needle size - and it worked out pretty well.

Even though this took almost five months to complete according to the calendar, this is a fairly fast knit. I was taking a lot of breaks from knitting during the warmer months. In fact, the only reason I started this in June was because I needed a portable project, and the only other knitting projects on needles were too complicated.

The sleeves turned out longer than I wanted, so I folded up the hem and stitched in place. I rather like the way this looks!
