Notes

Finished fit = LOOSE! Especially in shoulders/biceps.
Gifted yarn! Thanks, David. Being bad and not swatching. I have 7 skeins, making the medium. This yarn feels so great on a wooden needle!

Cast on 12/22
Tubular cast on with US 2
ribbing with US 3
body with US 5

12/24, End of 1st skein: almost ready to separate sleeves & body but not quite.

12/25: made it to the separation point! Following the size medium numbers to a tee. (68 on each sleeve, 90 for front & back). CO 4 for each armpit. I have maybe half my 2nd skein left. Can’t wait to crank out another 1” and try it on!

12/29: ridiculous— 10” from armpits today!! Omg!

Wow, this is gonna be LOOSE. I’m knitting the medium but just tried it on and it fits like an XL. Gonna go longer in the body because I’ve got more than enough yarn, and looser/longer seems like a garment I’ll grab over & over. Planning for 14” then start ribbing.

12/31: started sleeve 1! Picked up 6 sts under arm, decreased 2 next round. Decreased 2 more times over the next 2 inches = 68 sts. Knit to 7” past underarm. Decrease 3 more times over next 3 inches = 62 sts. Pretty freaking loose.

1/21: took a long break. Starting 2nd sleeve tonight!

1/22: okay, I’m adjusting my numbers. 2nd sleeve will be my more fitted one, then I’ll rip back on the first. At 10.5”, start decreasing down to 50 sts.

A year later, this is still my daily pullover go-to sweater. It fits like an XL, making it comfy cozy. I am going to knit another one with the same yarn, and next time I’ll use a smaller needle for the neck (it turned into a boat neck), and use the smaller #s for the sleeves. And a different increase for the raglan lines. Besides that, it’s perfect.
