Notes

My figure has changed SO much in the last few years. I was pregnant when this was knit and while it was perfect & cozy for several years, I’m now swimming in it. Time to frog & reknit into something else lovely…

Everything went splendidly! No mods, and it looks great - though there is certainly room to experiment a bit. Love my buttons. My coworkers at Close Knit said the sweater is a bit more “earthy” than my usual look. Little do they know that I live in yoga pants while at home…

So far, I’ve worked the pattern as written. I’m down to my last sleeve, finally, and feel as though I might never finish. The tweed yarn softens as it gets worked, but has been hard on my hands. Doing the sleeves on dpn’s has just been a bit much for me. Ouchie, ouchie! Looks as though the work will be worth it, though. I think this sweater is gonna be lovely when it’s finished.
