Notes

January 10, 2019

Ordered the yarn. Now we wait.

January 14, 2019

Yarn’s here! Time to cast on!

February 9, 2019

Done knitting the body!
Made the bottom rib longer than instructed, because the sweater seemed a bit too short.

February 18, 2019

Almost done with the sleeves, down to the right sleeve’s ribbing.

I must say that the body of this sweater is wide in a weird way, while the sleeves are disproportionally tight in a differently weird way. This is going to require much stretching around once I’m done. shrug::skin-tone-3

And, it’s done! And I’m looooooving it.
The sleeves aren’t as tight as I was afraid, but the body shaping is still a bit off. I should have modified it like others did.

Also, the yarn quantities are totally off for this pattern. I only used 250 grams of MC (pattern said 450, and I bought extra an extra skein. dammit.)
