Notes

Did a gauge swatch and this yarn seems a bit big for DK. Moved to a 3.25” needle and down a sweater size (mainly because I tend to make items too big, and others have mentioned their sweater grows after blocking)

Finally finished the colourwork and admittedly the blue doesn’t show up as nicely as the red would have. I just have an issue with red trees.
It still looks ok and gives a subtle grey to blue fade effect even if the trees aren’t that noticeable.
