Notes

Plain sailing working on the yoke.

1 June: I’m late! Just halfway through the second sleeve, body completed.

Loved knitting this! It is what I’d consider suitable for an advanced beginner, or even someone who is knitting the first sweater in the round, top down. Easy peasy!
I want to knit another one in a solid colour, and using a fingering weight (what was also recommended in the pattern).
The choice of yarn was inspired! Catherine is so soft and light, I loved every stitch. Such a shame that it has been discontinued :(

Measurements after a brief soak and gentle blocking:length 21”, width 19”1/2, sleeve length (measured under arm): 15”.
