Notes

I cast this on after measuring my model and worked up to the sleeves. When I had the sleeves half done, I decided I needed some help getting them attached and making the cable look nice at the top. I turned to Zimmerman and “Knitting without Tears” and opted for the Seamless raglan. I added short row shaping on the collar and it isn’t as tight as she calls for. I should have added just a couple of stitches across the front to make up for the tightness of the cables and subatomic particle reminded me to go down a needle size as I complained about my button band (D’oh!).

I’m not in love with the yarn, it is too soft and unstructured, but the sweater is cute.
