Notes

I was gifted the Andes yarn from another knitter who was a bit disappointed by it and the outcome of the projects she attempted. So it’s my challenge now to turn this somewhat unusual color into something wearable and beautiful.

I am holding two strands of the Kid Silk and one strand of the Andes. It’s so super fluffy and I love it!

Using smaller needle due to my loose knitting and i really want it to be a tighter fabric.

My goal was to use the Andes completely in this project. And I succeeded perfectly relaxed The sleeves could be a tad longer (I would prefer about 3cm longer), but it’s totally ok. I didn’t want to order another ball of Andes only for the sleeves.
