Notes

This project took an eternity to finish. But oh so worth it! I LOVE the colorway and texture of this yarn. It’s now the softest sweater I own I think.

I the ribbing around the neck and back took the longest - that was slow going. And I kept on knitting despite wanting to end it till I nearly ran out of the 3rd skein. It’s the perfect length as a result.

I don’t think I had many mods - since it took so long, it’s hard to remember. Here are the ones I do remember:

Sleeves: no ribbing. I originally did the ribbing, but I hated the look on the bind off sleeve, so I re worked both sleeves.
Hem: to match sleeves, no ribbing.
Increases along body: Increased to 2” above bind off, where then I stopped knitting w/ increases and just simply continued in stockinette stitch.

Overall, extremely pleased with the results!
