Pattern calls for 4.75 stitches/inch. I am getting 4.64. Cast on 76 for the XL size, 3, 11, 48, 11, 3.

LOVE this yarn. Love. It.

1/20: After much knitting, I am thinking I may like this fabric better on size 4 needles (currently using a 3). I cannot bring myself to rip it out. Argh.

2/20: Putting this in “timeout”. After referring to knitting buddy and visiting said buddy, I am going to try this on size 4 needles to see what I think. Since I have knit almost to the arm separation on this sweater, I wound a new skein to start the size 4 needle version. Once that is to the arm separation I will decide which to keep and which to frog. :D

Still love this yarn.
