Started swatching with 5mm, but that fabric felt way too loose. With 4,5mm the fabric feels great, but I’m afraid the gauge seems still a bit off.

swatch with 4,5 mm:
Pre blocking: 21st x 28r
Post blocking: 20st x 28r
After washing machine: 20st = 9,7cm 28r = 9,5cm

Cast on size 2-3 and finished the short row shaping on the back. As always; just (skim)reading the pattern filled with me with fear because it sounded so complicated, but once I had it on my needles is was actually very easy.

This yarn is sooooo nice!

Started on the first sleeve yesterday and got over half way, but the gauge was way too tight. Like 10% off… So ripped it back to the 2nd row and started again

Finished knitting 3,5 weeks to finish a jumper, I’ve kind of amazed myself :D
The yarn and the pattern were both a joy to work with, and the stripes added some extra motivation to finish “just one more stripe”.
