Notes

Mark said he’d like a festive sweater for his birthday this year, and picked this pattern. Killington was the obvious yarn choice; it should be a very cozy sweater!

Arg. At about 6” in I was able to see the width of the sweater, and suspected it was too wide. But I was too lazy to check and kept knitting a bit.

This evening I compared it to the sweater I’ve borrowed for sizing, and I’m about 40 stitches too wide, so it’s time to frog and start again…
