Notes

Approximate yardage

CO XL. (Bad idea: it would have sit better with a smaller size) cast on a bit too tight but it is all right.

Changed the number of increases, etc so appart from the beginning I cannot say I followed the pattern.
I would like to knit the pattern again, using the right size.

I am happy I found a way to use my set of purple and grey mérinos. I used between three and four balls of the mohair-silk yarn and added maybe 50 gr of the blue merino to get more yardage.

A bit more than a year later, the pullover is still in perfect shape, having been used and abused by my daughter who loves it to piece.
It is colorful but not screaming so, funky and elegant, and goes well with her artistic wardrobe while keeping here toasty warm.

So I have decided to knit a second one, and see if it goes to me or her afterwards. smile
