Notes

All those cables took ages to do. The creative linen yarn was really heavy but nice to work with once I got used to it. One strange thing about the design: shoulders finished in steps that had to be fitted together when joined. What was the use of that? Seemed just like extra work.

First day of wearing it I gave it to a friend at work just because it suited her SO much better. Et … je ne regrette rien! It looked a little square/medieval on me, not at all drapey and feminine, while on the other hand it looked as if it was made for her. (She’s the one smiling!)

Frogged many years after, because it was so heavy it could hardly be worn without causing back pain. A LOT of yarn in that sweater with cables and pleats.
