Notes

Unfortunately I have some pattern pooling as the stitch count grew, so I’ve frogged back to just under the neck. I’ll try alternating…

I ripped back to just under the neck, and alternated until I got to the body, where the stitch count stayed the same.
Then I just carried on with one skein.

Body weighs 434g; it’s heavy, but doesn’t feel it when trying it on.
It’s warm, and soft, and feels so nice!

With one sleeve, it weighs 524g. The sleeve has taken 90g.
With 2 sleeves, it weighs 610g. The 2nd sleeve has taken 86g. I guess the difference depends on the slubs…the knitting does match!

Measurements after blocking:
Bust, 40”
Length, from top of collar at the back, to hem, 25”
Length, from top of shoulder (next to collar ribbing) to hem, 22.5”
Inside sleeve, 18.5”

I absolutely love it in this yarn! It’s seriously warm, and feels so soft!

The pattern is lovely, and I’m going to need to make it again sometime. The lines that run down the sleeves from the neck ribbing, and the shaped sleeve ribbing just add something really special.
