15.5 skeins = 1689.5 yards (1544.9 meters), 775 grams
Notes

Casted on 252 stitches and did 2x2 ribbing for 20 rows.

For the arms 14 stitches on each needle 2x2 ribbing 19 rows.

50 cm on the arms before combining arms and body. Body is 45 cm before arms set on the needles.

My daugter wanted the sweater longer than pattern calls for.

Another dyelot on the white yarn after the first “bulk of pattern”. Hope it will not differ from the other “white” yarn. Used 11 skeins of dyelot 88 - and have 4 skeins of dyelot 50 (It should be enough)
I had to travel to Sparkjøp for more yarn. Bought 4 more white skeins and 2 blue to be sure.

408 stitches when I started the pattern - looking forward to the decreases :)

Used so far:
13 skeins almost white (not sure what to call it)
2 skeins blue
0.5 skein red

Total 775 grams of yarn used.

For the last two decreases I decreased more than XL asked for - second to last for size L and the last one I decreased to 116 stitches, knitted 10 rows of 1x1 ribbing and binded off knit and purl.

My daughter doesn’t know I am finished and April 30th she is going to see it for the first time. Hopefully more pictures then :)
