Notes

weighs 325 grams
body length under arms 12” (one inch shorter than pattern)
sleeve length 18” (one inch longer than pattern)
before blocking (on the needles), body was 30” After blocking, body is 34”
no growth in length after blocking
for me, collar did not seem to grow out much in width - stayed very much a funnel neck
grew out a little more when whole sweater finished and full weight of the sweater pulling it down a little (see pic 1 compared with pic 3)
spaced out the sleeve decreases as my arms dont taper much until my forearm
first decrease after 64 rows and then next 2 decreases 16 rows apart
one sleeve used 40.5 grams dandelion and 15.3 grams mohair
9.6 grams Silk Mohair Left
25 grams of Dandelion left
