Notes

I posted this sweater as part of my Fiberuary Challenge photos yesterday and @lilagindc asked about it which made me realize that I never actually posted about finishing it!
I don’t have any photos of me wearing it but I have these lovely photos from the @kwknittersguild Adjudicated Show this year.
This sweater dress is a @customfitknits design, specifications on the last slide (tunic length for me on this was 28” armhole to hem and I ended up going with a seed stitch split hem on the sleeves rather than the 2x2 ribbing).
The yarn is @indigodragonfly MCS sock in a colourway from Sweater Club in 2017: “Horton Poaches the Egg (hey, lunchtime)”
The cable down the front is a mashed together version of a couple patterns from The Harmony Guides: Cables & Arans, the Triple Criss Cross cable & the Dancing Cable and then there’s a 4st Bold Cable on the edges of the front & back. For every stitch crossed in the busiest row of the cable pattern I added an extra stitch to account for cable suckage. These were decreased out as I did the neck and armhole shaping.
