Notes

I fell in love with this jumper but balked at the cost of the yarn.

I also doubted any small light jumper would use 800g of yarn.

Then the yarn was discontinued and it became academic.

Then I remembered I had plenty of Manos and saw from the other projects that someone else had successfully used Manos.

The Manos was in the shed and I had no purpose for it, I am so pleased to be using stash to make something I had longed to make.

The problem with having so much is that you become blind to what you have.

I’m loving the pattern and the yarn is utterly delightful!

Sleeve uses 67g of yarn, will need blocking to get flutter cuff effect, at the moment looks like a plain sleeve cuff…

Finally, after much annoyance with myself for procrastinating, and a mammoth sewing up binge, it’s finished! Yaay!
