Really excited to be part of the test knitting team for this beautiful sweater!

I just started and I am done with the ribbing. Once I completed the short rows (I used GSR), I started alternating between the skeins using the yarn forward method to prevent weird pooling form the speckled yarn.

I just finished the charts. My yoke dept is 20cm in the front, not including the neck ribbing. I will add 2-3 cm before separating the sleeves/body.

I separated the body after obtaining 22cm of yoke depth. I put the body on hold after a few rounds to work on the sleeves.

I chose option B with shaping. I made a diminution round every 9 rounds after the initial one.

After shaping, I was at 27cm of arm length. I will add 10 cm before doing the cuffs.

Both sleeves are done. I made 20 rounds of ribbing on the cuffs.
