Provisional cast on.
You ask,why did I include this short video from Lucy Neatby? Because I don’t want you to have to frog back 40rows to fix a mistwist, end up with something you can’t recognize as being knitted and then rip the entire front or back to the beginning of armhole shaping. (It was an Argggh moment). I wish I discovered this before.
Thank you byeager

My bad! The yarn lends itself to gorgeous cables with its great stitch definition but…
My bust is 34D.(size 10). Medium size is 2-3 inches ease on me with this yarn. The sweater, as gorgeous as the pattern knit in this yarn ,is somewhat problematic for me due to the width of the center cable. Still it gets lots of compliments.
Fun fact on the sheep

In the 19th century this landrace sheep populated the European hilly ranges abundantly. These red fox-colored sheep could be found under names that indicated their color or living area, such as Golden Fox, Eisfelder Fox Sheep, Eifeler Sheep, Ardenais Solognotes, Rousse Tetes. In the beginning of the 20th century, 60% of the sheep in the German Coburg area were of this landrace with the red fox-colored heads, but by World War II they were nearly extinct.
The specialty of the Coburger Fuchsschaf is its long wool. Lambs are born with a dark red-brown fleece that lightens at age 6- 12 months. The resulting Golden fleece (white with a red-brown or golden tint) contains more or less dark kempy hair, which impart an appealing color play in the yarn and finished product. The wool with a fiber diameter of 33- 36 microns.
