Another beautiful sweater design by Thea - thanks so much for letting me test-knit this gorgeous cardigan!

Very well written pattern, excellent directions, detail, and notes. The beautiful leaf lace pattern has both charted and written instructions - after you knit a couple of the leaves the pattern will “click” and you’ll know immediately if you’ve made an error.

The pattern provides excellent notes on how to make custom modifications for your size and where to make the needed mods. I was between two sizes and selected the smaller of the two sizes and added two stitches to the left and right front and four to the back.

This was my first time knitting a cardigan with the contiguous shoulder shaping top-down architecture and the pattern’s directions and Thea’s notes were very easy to follow.

And can we talk about this gorgeous Mewesic yarn?! THE perfect pairing for this sweater pattern - I couldn’t stop taking close-up pics because I absolutely adore the little yellow flicks of color in the yarn!

I’m already looking through my stash, thinking about knitting another Greenbriar in another color - its’s just the perfect sweater pattern - - easily customizable, a fun lace and cable pattern, and then gorgeous stockinette to show off a tweedy yarn.

Great job Thea!
