Notes

Used almost 2 full skeins. I have maybe 20 yards left from the second.

Followed the pattern instructions, but used a weave pattern slipping stitches wytf every 3 rows. I wanted something with texture, but not too much, since the color is dark and gorgeous on its own.

And a month after finishing, the wife asked to make it longer… so I’m doing some surgery on the hem and adding another 1-1.5 inches to the bottom.

Wife wanted a longer sweater. Added a few inches and broke into 3rd skein. maybe used 1/3… probably close to 1/4. forgot to weigh before and after. oops
