My gauge is about 5 spi so I’m following stitch counts for med and large to make a small, about size 34.
Using the crew neck option.

10/5 Cast on and working on raglan increases
10/7 separated for the sleeves
75 stitches each for front and back plus 6 st cast on at underarms
53 st set aside on cables, with a lifeline, for sleeves

The first skein had a knot about 70 grams in (30 grams remaining) so I set it aside and started on skein 2. I’m going to see how far skein 2 will get me on the body then likely work on the sleeves.

I’m considering alternatives for the neckline and lower edge and sleeve cuffs. I’m not doing the roll-y edges. Maybe ribbing. Or garter. Maybe seed st. Decided on garter for the edges, knit nice and firm on size 3s.

10/9/12 finished second skein (no knots)
10 rounds around the body takes about 19 grams
Now onto the sleeves before the body gets full sized, and while there’s no partial hanging off the body to get tangled.
Picked up the 6 stitches from the underarm cast on plus 2 in the front corner and one in the back corner (9 total)

10/12/12 Both sleeves are done. Now back to the body with the 5th skein. There is about 40 grams left of each of the sleeve skeins and 30 grams left from skein 1, broken off and set aside when there was a knot. But I started a new skein, and it might be enough to finish off the body. This will minimize joins and ends to weave in. I expect I’ll use the leftovers to knit hats or slippers.

An amazingly quick knit. Good tv knitting and for knit night, round and round in stockinette.

I did garter for the edges with a smaller needle to keep it from getting loosey goosed. Size 3 for the sleeves, size 4 for the body and neckline, 8 rows, then bound off in purl so it looks like 5 purl ridges. I went up several sizes for the bind off (9 for the body) and used a sewn bind off for the neckline. Just a minor rant and some records, for next time. I allowed almost 3 yards dragging a long length of yarn behind my tapestry needle. This was based on about 4 times the size of the neckline, and I had measured that 2 yards were required to knit one round. After binding off the neckline and dragging the yarn in and out of all the stitches, I had about 1.5 yards left… So it took less yarn to bind off than to knit.

The sweater weighs 404 grams, so just over 4 skeins. I used yarn from 5 skeins but started new skeins at key places to minimize weaving in. So I have almost a full skein of partials remaining for hats or slippers.

The “lines” you see in the picture are scraps of yarn woven in with 20 stitches, and 10 rows between. They function as gauge monitors and progress bars. I’m leaving them until I soak and block the sweater to check for color transfer /fastness.
