While making this garment I used the notes of jo5ca who, in turn, used the notes of La Poule (check out her site, she looks adorable in this sweater). Details and modifications - here.
I bought this yarn - Sublime Organic Cotton DK - almost 4 years ago in Edinburgh, it was the last bag on sale, so I just grabbed it without thinking. Obviously, when I started thinking, I couldn’t find a project worthy of the yarn. And the yarn is great - soft, easy on your hands, with very good stitch definition. Doesn’t look too cotton-y, in my opinion.
