Knitting during holidays. Easy to pick up and just knit.
Finished the back in 4 days and am now almost done with the sleeves (2 at a time)
I am in no hurry as we are having a heat wave and I have some cotton sweaters to finish first.

Used up just under 4 balls of yarn.

Didn’t survive the washing machine at 40C :-(
Limp and the fuzzy texture is all gone.
It was pilling quite a bit after wearing, but I didn’t expect washing it in the machine would strip all the fluffiness and leave a real thin thread with a really acrylic feeling to it.
