Notes

Spun my first sweater worth of yarn. Norweigan wool. A bit of a halo.
I have 564 gram and 1197 m. (Used 332 gram)

My gauge 16 s, 23 rows 10x10, 4,5 mm needles.

All knitted but I ripped the whole body yesterday (arm pits and down). I did not like the shaping, the bust area had a lot of fabric. I think the whole thing has to many stitches. I knit whit no shaping to see if it works. A-line works better.

August-september.
Knitted and ripped both sleeves, too tight.
Knit straight down from new start.

January-February 2015
Sleeves fits ok. A 3 by 3 ribbing, 8 cm and ending with a curled hem (2 rows of stockinette and BO in rib.
BO sleeves with knit one, put it back and knit 2tog (icelandic BO?)

Ripped the garter body hem and knitting it like the sleeves, 3 by 3 rib.

Yes, I have a handspun (from fleece) sweater and I am very satisfied. I don’t know if it is a Sun Rose anymore? Ribbing instead of lace patterning and no shaping. But the sleeve caps, the neckline and the shoulderpart is all from Sun Rose. I like to knit this pattern again.
