The deadline is 13th of January.

The gauge part with this yarn is so confusing … probably I get the best gauge with needles 3.75 mm.

After 2 days of waiting, I measured swatches again and now the swatch with 3,5 mm needles has shrink too much (23 sts x 33 rows = 10 cm), but the swatch with 3,75 mm needles is great: 22 sts x 32 rows = 10 cm.

Now I can CO :)

Yesterday evening I had to rip back to 3th decrease round because I saw a slipped stitch at my yoke’s front just before that 3th decrease and can’t repair it without ripping…
Today I start with pleat - such an interesting design element :) - and I hope to knit enough sweaters body to reach separating part.

I had to mark that for fair isle part I didn’t change the needles (went on with 3,75mm).
For neck pleat I took needles 3,5 mm and for ribbing 3,25 mm.

As designer modified upper part, I ripped back and started with modified pattern agan.

This time I didn’t used 3,25 mm for neck ribbing. 3,5 mm was enough for it.

One sleeve decreases are done. Interesting, can I finish one sleeve with one ball of yarn?

Started this sleeve again. I added 4 sts (allowed by designer), because my arms are almost the same measurement as in pattern (arm is 0.5 cm less), but I wish that there will be more room around it.

The second sleeve almost finished…
