Needles
3.25mmm for cast on
3.5mm transition into colorwork
3.75mm colorwork & body.

Note on yarns
I held my contrast colours double with Cashmere Haze from Rowan.
The result is a lovely fuzz, as well as a slight emphasis in the colourwork pattern because of the teeny difference in gauge to the body.

Modifications

My bust 93cm
Height 1.75cm

I knit size 3 / 43” / 107.5cm

While knitting I realized I might be in for a game of yarn chicken. Being a handdyed variegated yarn there was no chance of getting hold of more. So I adjusted my sleeves to size 2 while knitting and did the decreases slightly quicker.
The result is actually just perfect!
A slightly more fitted sleeve, bit still having the ease of the size 3 around the body .
