Notes

1-21-2012-update - I freakn love this sweater. It’s loose, comfy and so freakn warm. I get so many compliments on it. And I’ve been told by my daugheters and a coworker they want one too.

Used an entire skein for the first half. 13 rounds. Total Stash buster. I love the simplicity of the sweater design. Can’t decide if I need buttons or ties.
Added two extra rows to the end of the sleeves and bottom edge after joing the seams.

Should probably have used a M or N hook and only gone ot 10 or 11 rounds, it’s very loose on me.

Very warm even in worsted weight. Will definetly be making another in wool.
