Notes

i inadvertently knitted an extra repeat of the chart B (which, in hindsight was a really good thing as the sweater would have been to short otherwise). BUT that meant that there was not quite enough yarn to complete the project. so i skipped the last triangle stripe and did an extra round of decreases (a double decrease at each triangle) to reduce the amount of stitches to bind off. even though, I ran out of yarn and had to use every single bit of tails to manage the i-cord bindoff. i-cord, as it turns out, litterally eats yarn. anyways, i am aware that it is totally a cheat and incorrect way to do things, but i did not know what else to do. so the bind-off is a bit wonky, but i guess i’ll be the only one noticing. despite totally improvising the neckline, it turned out really good fit-wise. i don’t think I would have wanted the neckline to be any higher.

fit-wise, i am very pleased with how the sweater turned out, especially considering that the fabric has no elasticity whatsoever. just loose enough, but well-fitting through the shoulers.

the sweater is also surprisingly easy to wear. i was a bit wary of feeling a bit clownish, but it turns out it is just really fun to wear!
