Notes

Not so happy with this piece.

I think the sleeves are a bit strange in the armpit/ the body is way too big/wide…. I maybe didn’t pick up enough stitches for the sleeves? Can’t remember.

The neckline is so wide it slips my shoulders, need to fix that somehow. I also don’t like the shape, the ending of the neckline. It is standing upright.

I followd the patern size 4. Now I wonder, I should take size 2?

Stupid thing is, I knitted everything on 2.5 mm (forgot to change to 3 mm). So I needed 10 skeins instead of 8. Maybe that is it? Why it is too wide and too big and too baggy?
I don’t know. I am going to do some work on it. Neckline and the bit around my hips, so when I walk I don’t loose it ;)

Or just give it away as it is, lovely present for a sweet friend!
