Notes

Cast on over 3.5 mm needles, ribbing in 3.0 mm needles, 3.25 mm needles for main knitting.

I knit the collar a bit shorter. I think it came out to about 5” instead of 7”. I wanted it about that length, and as it turns out I had had exactly enough yarn to do it. (I have tons more yarn, but it needs to be frogged and rewashed from a failed sweater attempt.)

This sweater came together very easily. Everything lined up beautifully for seaming, and it just worked.

I wish the sleeves were a bit wider, and I blocked them out just a touch wider. As-is they are probably about right, except that the ribbing pulls in and makes them too tight. There is nothing wrong with the sizing of the pattern. I think I just like my sleeves looser than Laura does, and that I might have bigger upper arms in proportion to my torso.
