Notes

19/3: I’ve decided to use needles with thickness 2,5 mm and 3 mm, in order to obtain the correct gauge (and size, since S was a bit big knitting in 3,5). I had to frog it once and start over. Hopefully I don’t have to do it again.

08/04: I’m nearly finished. Turned out that the amount of yarn in the pattern was not enough. I’m going to be using 300 g instead of 250 g. Probably because of my gauge. Luckily I’m always buying on skein extra, just in case. I’m liking how the outcome seems to be, the only downside is that it is somewhat short. That could easily be fixed if I’m to knit another version of this later on.

10/04: I finished it yesterday, after some amount of ripping and knitting and ripping again. I think it turned out okay. It had been much simpler to knit in the end if the pattern wasn’t so confusing.

For future references:
Changes I would have made: (in S)
Knitted at least 37 cm before beginning on the arms.
Inc to 192 st right after the rib. Made the arms thinner (maybe just inc only 6 times (to 72 st, instead of 82).
Begun on the neck shaping earlier.
