Notes

Just needs blocking… It all went fairly smoothly. I used neckline option A and knit it all a size down, as I read in several places that the hempathy can grow a bit. I was a bit concerned that perhaps I should’ve gone with option B, instead, but the neck finishing really tightened things up and eliminated my concerns. I considered several of the lovely modifications posted, but ultimately, laziness led me to knit the pattern as written.

After wearing this a couple of times, I wish that I’d used a smaller needle. Also, I’m kicking myself just a bit for not doing Yoel’s mods. It is possible that I’ll rip back and re-knit using the mods. As is, the sweater is quite comfy. It just isn’t as flattering as it could be.

Yarn is surprisingly soft, but it seems to be a lint magnet!
