Details to come soon yarnyarnyarn

This will always be my ALL time favorite knitsmiling_face_with_3_hearts I’m so proud of this sweater and extremely grateful for this beautiful opportunity to knit a sweater for Caitlin, just in awerelaxedThis pattern is dreamy and definitely one to knit over and over again, the possibilities are a plenty! Thank you Caitlin for being such a sweetie Can’t wait to knit another one blossom

The amazing yarn was supplied to me, using the new colorway and base Moonspun by Moondrake Co. Rachelle really knows how to dye up yarn, I absolutely loved working with these colors. The yarn blooms so beautifully after soaking. It does grow, but very minimally, and blocks out very nicely. I didn’t have any color bleeding, which I tested first with my gauge swatch.

I followed the pattern as written. I started to alternate between skeins after completing the yoke, even though all the skeins supplied looked all very consistent.

I love the stitch pattern for the hem, cuffs and neckline, so different and interesting! The charts are easy to memorize and there are some areas with longer floats. I prefer not to pick up my floats, but there are a few sections where I did. The colorwork is addicting, just want to see the pattern take shapeblossom

I love how Caitlin styled it in her beautiful pics! I’m so happy it fits and looks so stunning, she looks amazing as always

For reference I am 5’11”, I usually knit my arm length to 20”, and my body to 11” for cropped sweaters. This sweater was knit and blocked to Caitlin’s measurements per pattern.
