Notes

This sweater has been withdrawn by the author.
I’m thrilled to start this sweater.
19.12.2025 Cast on and knit only a few rows. Today I went shopping and happened to find a matching mohair color for the berries. smile
20.12.2025 I had to find something else for the purple as I did not have enough. I found one ball of green silk mohair which hopefully is suitable.
29.12.2025 I finished my first bubbles row but I had to leave the mohair out. (The yarn was annoying, didn’t adjust to my wishes.) Well, the berries come out better.
05.01.2026 I’m on row 26 of the chart. The bobbles take so long!
07.01.2026 Slow progress! I have completed row 35.
09.01.2026 I finished the chart today. For this I used
yarn MC 50g merino +silk mohair 23g
CC1 merino 9g
silk mohair 5g
CC2 orange merino silk 25g
19.01.2026 Knitting the body.
20.01.2026 As the first ball of MC was used up I decided to start the sleeves.
22.01.2026 yarn One sleeve took 37g MC and 14g mohair silk.
24.01.2026 The other sleeve is finished.
27.01.2026 Finished the body.
28.01.2026 Now it is blocking. (The pic before blocking.)
After blocking : sleeves 39 cm
body from armhole 29 cm
