Love this sweater and wear it all the time in winter. Went up a size to get looser fit.

26st unblocked with 3.75
24 st unblocked with 4.5mm

Alternating skeins on “Stormy” section. 3.25” of 2x2 ribbing section. Opted for a longer sturdier rib b/c I like the section on Hannah Fettig’s Lightweight Pullover. Hopefully it works here too.

3/4 Sleeves with 2x2 rib also.

Things learned with this project:

• With variegated yarns, opt for high contrast if fair-isling it. (Actually, I knew this already but was in denial.)

• I’m beginning to like the fit of top-down knitted-in sleeves better than bottom-up seemed.

• I can really rock 2x2 ribbing. It just flies off the needles. Surprisingly more entertaining than plain in-the-round st st. Casting-off in rib, not so much fun. Is it really worth the fuss?

• Tubular cast-on was a little tricky & in the end, too stretchy. Instead of using a small circular, I should have re-started with 4 dpns. Oh well, at least I didn’t have start-over-itis this time.

Will definitely make this pattern again. It was so much fun to stash dive and play with various colour combos. I love that the pattern was published with sizes varying from child to adult.
