Notes

I got lots of John Lewis vouchers for my birthday so I splurged them all on some lovely soft Cocoon yarn and it was exactly the right amount for this pattern.

It took me a while to finish it, as I ended up in a new relationship not long after I’d started it, which ate into the tons of knitting time I’d had as a singleton. It took me even longer to get round to blocking it once I’d finished it, but it is finally done and photos finally taken for the project.

The sleeves are rather large/baggy, but they match the dimensions in the pattern so I guess that’s how they are supposed to be. It’s wonderfully snuggly and warm, shame it took me until this spring to get it ready to wear!
