First sweater for myself….

Gauge was right on target with the yarn and needles!

I started knitting using the book pattern, but Ravelry pattern says there is an errata in first couple of rounds. It is not noticeable to me, so I’ll continue on instead of frogging and starting over.

It was a bit confusing when joining in the round. The first marker ends up being the beginning of the round, and the pattern continues marking the first stitch from there.

Finished raglan shaping and dividing sleeve stitches. Started working on collar.

Checked out other knitters’ Keene, and I think I’ll match the cuffs and bottom ribbing to be fisherman’s rib stitch also.

Love the yarn - soft, warm, sumptuous, with a hint of bright pink heather within the bright bluish purple.

Thinking of making it tunic/dress length with short sleeves….

Made it tunic length. Starting on sleeves. Definitely needs a kangaroo pocket!
