New skills and notes:
~folded hem ~ used cable cast on (by far works best) and Linda’s double needle technique is not bad!
~steek ~ 5 stitches, salt and pepper (Norwegian term) in pattern color and background color
~stranded knitting in the round
~no twisting yarn carry, English style!

Concern/Question:
~The sweater is shown very oversized on model and pattern says she is wearing it with +16” ease. Pattern also says designer’s intended ease is +2 - 4”. So, a bit confusing. That said, I really like the oversized look. Guess it is the knitter’s choice in the end as to desired fit and styling. Check out the multiple interpretations of this pattern on its project page!
