This was drafted in March but not cast on until recently …late September-ish. I learned from my last few mistakes and re-swatched due to the hiatus, and re-verified a number of calculations. Knitting was completed on 2020-11-11 but am waiting for a spot to block it.

This yarn makes a really nice fabric. It’s not incredibly enjoyable to knit for long periods of time due to the lack of elasticity but it makes an extremely lightweight felt-y fabric. I’ll reserve judgement on softness for when it’s done blocking.

This pattern was a first attempt to apply my newest yoke algorithm but working bottom up and in pieces. The verdict is that I reallllly like seams at the raglan line. Plus this is going to give me more flexibility in terms of not requiring the sleeve cap to have the same number of rows as the portion of the yoke to which it is connected. You can ease in a bit more sleeve cap volume for the same length of body yoke. The key word being “ease”. The raglan seam lines really clean up that area too. The increases or decreases on either side of the yoke line are not my favourite look, and what’s more - I have a little better control over how the armhole curve is connected to the sleeve cap curve near the armpit area.

Post-Wash/Wear Observations
The sweater weighs practically nothing when I’m wearing it, which is quite nice. Perfect amount of warmth for an indoor office in winter, and soft enough to wear against the skin. Even my overly sensitive shoulders. This is well worth another knit. I don’t have a lot of sweaters cool enough to wear comfortably in the overly heated commercial spaces in the winter.
