Love the shaping and that I learned how to do a tubular cast on and bind off. My gauge was different from the pattern (fewer rows) but I was able to put the decreases and increases closer together and it all worked out. Instructions were clear so it was easy to get a result I was pleased with. That said, I’m glad I went into it having already made many raglan sweaters. If it had been one of my first projects I would have made a mess of it!
Kate Davies Ard Thir (now discontinued) was a great yarn to work with. I’m glad I had stashed quite a bit of it and that it was just enough for this sweater. Wonderful balance between drape and springy-ness.
