Notes

The Jensen and the silk mohair give a beautiful brown with some shiny speckles.

I have one skein of 100 gram from another dye lot. Will use that for all the ribbing (hem, v-neck, cuffs).

Length body
I have made the body a little bit longer: one more repeat (6 rounds) before the increases and one more repeat (6 rounds) after the increases.

Italian Sewn Bind Off
Using the video of Petiteknit (bind off - Italian bind off - start at 5:50 min)

Sleeves
One more 6 rounds repeat.

Pattern
It is not a difficult sweater to knit, but the pattern is very short in describing what to do. Also there are a few little mistakes and vague descriptions: they talk about the 5-stitch lace pattern but the second lace row is 7 stitches wide. Further they say to increase at the sides next to the middle 3 stitches but that is not possible with an even number of stitches.
I did like to knit the sweater and I am very happy with the end result, but you have to read carefully.
