Notes

Just started and loving the pattern. Great for Netflix. The yarn knits up beautifully. I battled to get exact gauge but only out by very little . The yarn had a tendency to split and so care needs to be taken.

Finished the back and then realised why she says to knit one size larger. Usually a 37 but this time it’s fine around the body but will be too tight around the shoulders. So ripped it all out again and knitting the 40. This time round I’m knitting the front and back together to save me seaming.

This sweater is taking a while purely because I’m not working on it full time. I’ve completed the front and back knitted in the round. I added an extra inch to the body. I have so much yarn over I regret not making it several inches longer. No seaming. Bonus!

Just started the sleeves which I’ve also knitted in the round. Nearly completed the first sleeve. So glad there’ll be no seams. I think the sleeve length will be too short for me and looking at the pattern it could do with extra inches. I’m adding a further 2-3 inches in length

As I’m knitting it seamless I’ve got the knit side on the outside

Nearly done. Just the collar. I blocked the sweater before inserting the sleeves.

To prevent the neck from gaping I knitted 21 rows. 7 in 3.75, 7 in 3.25 and 7 in 2.75

It’s finished and I love it. So glad I lengthened the body and sleeves. Fits well and happy that I went up a size. The body and chest fit well. Not tight but not too loose either. Definitely on my knit again list
