Love the Kidsilk Haze Koigu combination. Cast on and started knitting, everything Looked great Until I realized I’d twisted it! Had to rip it out back to the pick up on the provisional crochet cast on.

I’m knitting the L but making the XL length .

Here we go again…checked 3 x to make sure the cast in wasn’t twisted. Got through the lacy bit….starred To read the pattern after the first leaf repeat.

Lace done, increases done, sleeve stitches on hold and now working on the body. I’ll knit 10.5 stitches as per the XL size.

Finished, I love it :) but…the body is too short, I should have done the back short rows…and the sleeves needs to be longer….so I am going to rip back and adjust,

I do love that as a top down sweater, adjustments like this are relatively easy to do!

Lengthened the body by 2” and did the short row shaping on the hem.

Also lengthened the sleeves and did not decrease before doing the rib.

Now it is perfect. I Love it!
