Love this pattern, liked the yarn more than I expected to, absolutely love the color! Very satisfied with the end result. Wool of the Andes Bulky is not as bulky as other bulky yarns (looks more like aran to me), but it’s pretty soft and not splitty.

The pattern is so clear and goes very quickly! I did have to go down two needle sizes, but I’ve been knitting very loosely lately. My only modification was lengthening the sleeves.

Cropped sweaters take a little getting used to, but I do like the shape. I think if I were to do it again I wouldn’t stretch the ribbing out so much during blocking, because the sweater could be a little tighter at the waist.

Sorry for the awkward poses! It’s getting too cold in Wisconsin for outdoor photoshoots.
