15/8/14: Done. Blocked. Love it.

Mods: Shortened sleeves to between elbow and 3/4 length. I just omitted the straight stockinette rounds after the decreases and knit the ribbing. I added four rows of ribbing to the body because I like my sweaters just a tiny bit longer.

11/8/14: Body is done. I was originally planning on using the Boris & Natasha for the ribbing, but I was very close to the end of my skein and am pretty sure I wouldn’t have had enough to finish. I’m really pleased with it so far. My tension is pretty good and the sweater feels great on. Like armour. It’s going to be fantastic when it gets cold here.

3/8/14: Separated for the sleeves yesterday and began the colourwork. I used Bethlehem Royal Hospital for the yoke and am using The Village Green and Boris & Natasha for the colourwork. So far, so good. No issues with the pattern and the fit is great so far.
