Notes

Loved how this sweater turned out with the Silk Garden!

08-07-2016

Even though I got correct gauge and my measurements came out per the schematic, I ended up using 8 yards more than the estimate on the body color and almost 50 yards more of the sleeve color. It was a game of yarn chicken the entire way. Otherwise, the pattern was really well written and easy to follow.

Also, I know some people commented that they were unhappy with the way the sweater pooched out on the sides where the decreases were. I wet blocked first flat, and then when it was dry, I steamed the sides while on a mannequin and that seemed to relax the decreases and make the flaring less apparent.
