Notes

Modifications:

  • Ribbed sleeves made longer
  • increasing needle-sizes in shorter steps
  • formed neckline
  • decrease on right shoulder similar as left shoulder increases
  • I-cord on edges

The increases of needle size was interesting, the yarn looks good in any size.
I tested the wooden Pony needles. Fantastic transition from needle to rope. Anyway: the wooden needle decreases my knitting speed and the part with Pony needles looks slightly uneven.

The first half was speed knitting the second half seemed to never ending. I totally forgot how boring big garter parts are.

I like the color very much and I’m happy with the result, but I don’t know whether it fits to my skin color.
Nevertheless: I will be a nice gift for my sisters-in-law
