Notes

I finally finished this sweater! It took me ages with 2.5 mm needles, the curse of the loose knitter!
It is actually exactly what I was asked for and the fit is perfect (on the recipient, it’s quite loose on me).
The yarn was a wonder, it’s so soft! If I have the patience, I’ll surely knit something for me with it!

I had to frog this one because the yarn was pilling like hell. It is quite a disappointement considering the fact that it was quite expensive.
Instead, I knitted a long and warm scarf with the yarn held double so that I could use bigger needles.
My dad is happy but I won’t use this yarn again (except the balls I have left, enough for another long and warm garter stitch scarf).
Next alpaca sweater I knit him will definitely be in drops. My Ravello hasn’t moved a bit.
