Notes

Test knit for beatiful sweater included in Jennifer Beale’s Landed, Volume 1: The Avalon, just released!

MC pale grey, subtle tweedy specks
Pattern calls for 6 contrast colours, but I used just 4 (because I am not very good at handling too many colours)
4 CCs: 2 greys + 2 pinks (Renaissance Dyes mini skeins)
Total weight: 350g - mostly MC, small amounts of CCs

Mods:
Funnel neck in 2x2 ribbing extending in synch from neck lace pattern
Cable-lace bottom edge (extension of side lace panel), ending with 6 rows reverse stockinette
Longer cuffs, ending with 4 rows double knitting and kitchener grafting cast-off

Great sweater, a joy to knit with this delicate mix of lace, cables and colourwork, and such a pleasure to wear it!
The yarn is light and soft, and the perfect weight for this sweater.
