Notes

Mods:

  • Narrowed the cuffs/arms (CO 46 instead of 62)
  • Increased the height and width of the sleeve cap slightly
  • No hood

Other than that, I knit as directed. I did not like knitting with the Colourmart yarn. It was very twisty and uneven, not to mention stinky (although I had washed it before using). When the sweater was done, I washed it 3 more times. The water was filthy, oily and stinky. It finally rinsed clean, though, and now it is a nice warm, soft sweater. My stitches in the beige are still too uneven-looking for my liking because of that very twisty yarn, but I can live with it.

Thank you to katymanjaro for the colour inspiration.
