Realized I misread the pattern and added too many rounds on the sleeve. Added lifeline to rip back one row before where I wanted to start the cuff

Body is complete - time to separate for the yoke

January 12, 2026

I do think this sweater is on my To-Frog list this year.

I love the sweater, love the yarn… but not too crazy about the fit.

I should have done one size larger and added about 4” of total length. I do not like short sweaters.

I’m unhappy with the sloppy tension (this was my very first sweater so I’m trying to be kind to myself XD) and the way I picked up stitches for the collar is atrocious.

Lots of mistakes were made but even more was learned.
I want to repurpose this yarn for a sweater that I will actually enjoy wearing.

Pattern to be decided
