Using small size because of gauge difference and also because I don’t want it as big as it is but still oversized. Yarn knit up very well in gauge. Looking forward to working with it.

The yarn is wonderful to knit and feels so luxurious.

The pattern is not difficult and the repeat is fairly easy but you cannot fudge a mistake. Any mistake will break the pattern and you have to rip back. You need to catch mistakes early and don’t knit it if you are tired. I frogged the “ribbing” 4 times. I hope I do better on the sleeves.
