Notes

Love this sweater. Lots of positive ease on it. I made the sleeves extra long (see notes below).

This skein CWM 2-ply was a limited edition, small batch colour that they had a few skeins of many years ago. It may be a regular colour by now. It reminded me of the colours of moss & lichens in the lava fields of Iceland. I bought one skein, but was never quite sure what to do with it. The yoke of this sweater seemed like the perfect project.

Sleeves: After last decrease knit 25 rounds, then switched to contrast colour. Knit one round with contrast colour, then one round with main colour before switching to 1x1 rib for 20 rounds. Sleeves are verrrry long.
