Love this.

I took this yarn on a recent road trip intending it for another pattern, but I just wasn’t loving the look. I happened to have this pattern with me and the prospect of covering 3000 miles over the next 2 weeks with no knitting just wasn’t going to fly. We weren’t within easy access to yarn or the internet… so I cast on.

I am SO HAPPY I DID.

I finished all but the sleeves during the trip. It seemed really tight when finished but the yarn blossomed beautifully when blocked. Used i-cord bind off (3 stitch for body, 2 stitch for arms). The edging sits down nicely.
