Notes

I’ve wanted to knit Andrea’s Dissent cardigan since she released it, but I hadn’t gotten around to it, so this test for the fingering-weight pullover was the perfect opportunity!

German twisted cast on. I knitted the standard length, with full-length sleeves. I have about 3-3.5” of ease. For reference, I am 5’7”.

Instead of wrap & turns, I used Sunday short rows.

I needed to break into my second skein of Spincycle, so I pulled from my second cake until I found similarly colored plies, which ended up being near the center of the skein, then decided to go towards the dark gray instead of the orange for the ends of my “necklace”. :)

I alternated skeins after the sleeve split, at the center of the underarm.

Each sleeve used approximately 52g, or about 194 yards.

Love!! I’d like to knit another, maybe a cropped version with less ease… perhaps with a semi-solid for the CC, although the Spincycle gives a nice effect. The pattern was easy to follow, and the different sections are separated nicely!
