Notes

Chose this pattern for my sheep to sweater project because I think it will be a good fit for my bouncy, natural coloured yarn. And it is soooo elegant. I expect to be very proud of the finished product.

TODO:
Swatch!
Measure a sweater I like the fit of and compare it to Anne’s schematic. I’m thinking that I want narrower shoulders, and notice that my commercial sweaters put the decreases at the under arm. Might try this…

Note to self: use the thicker yarns for the back and sleeves and the finest yarn on the fronts. That should help with drape.

Anne’s schematic and my commercial sweater match up nicely. I have decided to work the pattern as written. Onward ho!
