Notes

I absolutely loved being a part of this test. The all-over texture took longer to knit up but it was a very nice pattern to work on. The attention to detail is impressive. The pattern is fluid and uninterrupted all over the jumper.
As usual, very few and only minor mistakes for the size I was following and the final result is beautiful.
New favourite sweatshirt-but-fancy sweater for sure. I’ve had it on most of this week and don’t intend on stopping.

I got gauge and knitted it exactly as written, however, after blocking I have about an inch extra around the bust circ. for whatever reason. Having said that, it fits pretty much as it should. I was worried about the neck being too high and too tight but it blocked out exactly how I hoped it would. All around an absolute winner.
