Notes

08-30-2020

Took some updated photos 3.5 years later. I really like this sweater and think it has held up very well. If there was one thing I could change, I would make the bind off around the armholes looser. I did the k2tog bindoff and tried to be as loose as possible but It’s still tighter than the sleeve itself so it rolls the bottom fo the sleeve under a bit.

Otherwise, the yarn has held up great. I wash it in the machine on delicate and it’s still as soft as ever with pretty much no pilling. Overall I’m really pleased with how this has held up so far and hoping I can get several more years out of it.
