Notes

I’m recolouring this for more subtle contrast and less focus on the horizontal striping!

The back is plain..only the front is striped..I didn’t know that until I started….. :)

After asking an on-line class with ysolda Teague, I am going to add bust darts to the front.

I wasn’t sure of the Revive at first, but it is lovely and crisp…this will be a great summer sweater.

The neckline…well, I cast off loosely, then undid it and cast off firmly…to give the collar edge more stability.

I love this sweater…..and will probably wear it year round (under a sweater or jacket of course in the winter) as it is such a great combination of shades.
