Notes

I got gauge by going up to a US 10.5, which seems a bit bonkers, but the fabric isn’t too loose when washed and blocked so… wish me luck! Knitted the first shoulder last night and this pattern is very cool so far.

Cruising right along! Once you get to the charts it’s pretty smooth sailing. The fabric is feeling light and loose because of my huge needle size but not like a fishing net, so I think it’s going to be great. In love with this yarn!

All done! Sizing way up on the needles seems to have paid off. The first time I blocked this it got huuuge, so I brought it to the laundromat and dried it inside a cotton bag for one hour. It felted a tiny bit, but I actually really like how the fabric turned out. This sweater is sooo comfy, I’ve been wearing it since I finished. And the pattern was super fun, I loved doing something with interesting sleeves instead of finishing on sleeve island.
