Success!

I’m on the second ball of yarn and quite enjoying this knit. Though I did start slipping the first stitch on the rib section when I shouldn’t have. Oops.

Picked up 5 sts for every 4 sl sts on edge.

The gradient is working out so neat with this pattern. Colors are even matching up without much effort from me!

Cable bind off. I used three skeins of yarn with 7g leftover but my skeins must have been light because the finished sweater weighs 280g.

Sweater is drying. I can’t wait to wear it!

All dry and I LOVE THIS! It’s warm and comfy and looks awesome! Yay!
