Notes

Making the Robin version.

I’m knitting my way through this big amount of Borgo De Pazzi yarn that I bought secondhand. Very happy to still find matches with lovely patterns, even though I allready used up a big chunck of it.

So as you can see, I forgot to do the armhole decreases because I was so focused on knitting the intarsia that I did not read the pattern properly (note to self: read first, knit later). I decided I won’t rip back, drop shoulders are very much in fashion so that’s what it will be laughing I’ll knit the sleeves shorter by measuring what I gained in length on the shoulders by not decreasing for the armholes.

Pretty pleased with how it turned out! Even more so because I made it entirely from thrifted yarns raised_hands::skin-tone-3 The main green is not a colour I would typically have chosen, but I think it’s perfect for this sweater.
