Notes

I love it!. Thanks Elizabeth for let me be part of this test knit.
As always with Elizabeth pattern is a very detailed and well written. And this one is really a piece of cake, only took me 11 days to finish. My only mod is add an decrease on the sleeves an a bit longer the body. They are now bracelet sleeves. I am sure I will knit one for me, probably with the same yarns.
The yarns are a dream. I mix a ply of 2/28 cashmere with the 6/20 linen/silk. This allow to use it in spring time or in the summer nights . Normally the linen(and I love this fiber) is a little dry, with not very good touch. The little addition of cashmere works wonders. It becomes a piece of luxury that makes you want to caress .
It is a very light pull, only weight 280 gm and it is knitted directly from the cone
