Notes

This project has been in my queue for quite some time and I think it’s more than a years since I picked the yarn for it. The Hancho skeins have been in my stash since a swap in 2010 while the Dale yarn was bought last year to complement the Hancho skeins for this actual project.

A good pattern, a good looking sweater that fit nicely. May use the measurements for a new sweater sometime. Not with the weave and box pattern thought as this project gave me a tennis elbow. Guess I made some akward twist while lifting those stitches. Took a few weeks before it was okay again.

But I still love the sweater. And I think that madly colored Hacho yarn came out pretty well. It was really nice to knit with. I won’t recommend the Lerke yarn thought. Yes, it’s soft and have a nice drape, but it splits. A lot.

Tip:
Wave and box stitch (better explained than in pattern).

CO: -10
Sleeves: No adjustment
