Notes

I spent ages recreating a sweater I saw in a store, using the Anthony pattern as a base. I wet blocked the pieces and unfortunately they all grew a ton. Unexpected, since I did not use superwash. Sigh. When I seamed the sweater together the shoulders looked TERRIBLE and the body and sleeves were way too long. The sleeves had some terrible (& feminine) puffy/pointy thing going on…see photos. I had to completely remove the set in sleeves, unravel 10 rows from each sleeve cap, then set them in again. Shoulders looked better but it was still too big. I set it out on my blocking mats and spritzed with water, concentrating on the arms, then put in the dryer for 5 minutes at a time twice. Then repeated the spritzing/dryer again. Seemed to help a bit. Christmas day the sweater was a big hit. Phew.
