Altogether a really enjoyable knit and lovely design. I have been wearing this summer sweater a lot the past month. First time using Creative Linen and I love this yarn. It becomes softer with washing, yet keeps the crispness of linen. The yarn changes little with wear and washing so I will use it again. A real workhorse yarn!

04/6 Finally completed my Venus. I added a little length to the sleeves and a bit more to the body. Even then I believe that 5 skeins would have been enough, had it not been for a mistake in the yarn … 1 thread was missing in half a skein and it was really visible! Had to redo the back from armpits and up. First time ever I had a mistake in a Rowan yarn, though.

20/5 Cast on. I am between sizes M and L and I am knitting M, as other knitters have suggested that the sizes of Venus are generous. To avoid negative ease, I have added 8 st total (206 st). I am knitting in the round.
