Notes

When I completed this pullover in December 2017 I tried it on and was very disappointed. I I didn’t find it flattering at all on me, it was so stiff and clingy that I was sure I would never wear it. I washed it, blocked it quite aggressively, folded it together and put it away without trying it on again. Until today.

It has been quite cold in Madrid today (March 30th) and I have decided to give it a try. And what can I say, I am glad that I did, because thanks to the blocking procedure the pullover looks and feels totally different now. I love it!

As far as I can remember, I didn’t change anything and followed the pattern strictly (I only made the sleeves a bit longer).
