Notes

This is from a pattern designed by Barbara Khouri - it’s Artful Yarns Broadway #92129, V-Neck Pullover. It doesn’t appear to be in the Rav database, but one should give credit where credit is due!

This was the last sweater that I feel I finished poorly - well, hopefully the last! The seams are a little bulky but more than that, the sleeves somehow twisted when I was stitching them up. Iselin told me there’s no way to fix it, but I wish I were. This yarn is lovely but very itchy, so I always wear a long-sleeved shirt under it.

December 2021 - I’ve been doing my old WIP toss for a couple weeks now, and I finally got to this sweater. It does still fit, although it probably could stand to be a little bit longer through the hips. Still itchy, the seams are still too bulky. The other thing is that since it fits me differently now than it did when I made it all those years ago, the sleeves are just a little bit too short. So I took some of my leftover yarn, picked up about 40 stitches around each wrist, and knit another 10 rounds onto the sleeves. That seems to make them long enough to hit my wrists, and I think that it will be a little bit more flattering now that it doesn’t look like I’m wearing a sweater that’s too tiny.
