4.0mm for ribbing, 4.5mm for the rest

Mods and options:

Finished the first fade. Rather happy with how subtle it looks

18-11-2023

split for sleeves. Let the mindless knitting begin! :D (although I still need to keep track of the fades…)

28-11-2023

Added the third colour. It’s going to be a very exciting game of yarn chicken I fear. Might have to make shorter fades on the sleeves.

11-02-2024

Finished the body with a 2x2 sewn bind off. That took ages!!

I think my swatch was way off, or I can’t count, but the row gauge was a lot looser on the actual sweater, which threw of my colour fade calculations, which in turn resulted in only being able to finish the second to last fade. frowning_face

24-02-2024

Started first sleeve.
Made the first 4 fades (including the one that was partially started before splitting) shorter (12 row) fades, and the last 2 the medium fade (24 rows). Still with 4 rows in between.

18-03-2024

Started second sleeve. According to my calculations I’m going to win yarn chicken with respectively 14, 11, 9 and 100 grams per colour to spare sweat_smile

Finished!!! dancer

I only need to block it, but I think I’ll just wear it until I have time to do so.
