Notes

Another project finished a few months ago before the summer - long enough to have forgotten all the details!

I got the pattern a couple of years back, but had lots of trouble finding a suitable yarn to match the gauge (25 sts and 40 rows). After several failed attempts, I eventually invested in the yarn the pattern is written for, and I’m glad I did because it’s gorgeous, and perfectly suited to a light-weight sweater. To be true, the spring-green color is slightly uneven, and it has some lime green that look more like faded parts rather than intentional dyeing results - not sure which one is which, but by the time I noticed it was too late to do much about it.

The pattern is very detailed and well written. Even with the right yarn, though, my gauge was off, and the A-line body too wide. So I modified the construction, made a provisional cast on for the smallest size, knitted the yoke up, then the sleeves, and lastly unzipped the provisional cast on and knitted the body top-down making it as wide and long as I wanted it. As noted in the pattern, the yarn did grow quite a bit with blocking.
