I’ve made it to the bottom of the arm holes and tried it on (very carefully!). It seems to be a reasonable fit :) Even though my gauge looked good, it didn’t look like it would be big enough, but it seems fine.

I’ve finally finished the body. I used 260 g for the collar and the body. Hopefully, the sleeves will knit up pretty quickly.

Sleeve - knitted to 114 rows, then worked decrease row before the cuff.

September 13, 2016

All done :) I need to sew in all the ends and block it. It’s a reasonable fit. It feels comfortable, but doesn’t quite meet in the middle! I tend to wear my cardigans open anyway, so it’s not a big deal, but I’d knit the next size up if I made another one.

I’m really pleased with how the yarn has striped on the body. I was a bit worried that it might pool, but it hasn’t.
