Swatching with a size 7 needle right now. My yarn is upcycled from an old sweater and I’m not sure of it’s size. The positive ease on this sweater is crazy so I’m trying to go a wee bit smaller!

Achieved gauge with the size 7 needle.

Completed the Chart A section and now on to the rest. I’m loving knitting this. So much fun!

8 (16 twists) repeats of the center cable before doing the twisted rib across the top of the front panel.

Started back panel!

Finished the back panel and on to the sleeves. Slightly worried about running out of my yarn…

Didn’t run out of yarn, fortunately! I modified the sleeves since my arms’ circumference is pretty small. I did the increase 3 times resulting in a total of 52 stitches on each arm before casting off. Really pleased with the final look!
