1. Fitting. Initially she wanted a “raised collar” but it is too ticklish… Taking it off and adding a cotton-blend i-cord. The koi has too many cables and is distorting the slipped-stitch fabric by its sheer weight.. Iuckily it is floating cable so I’ll experiment and pull a few lines off…

What do you want? I asked
Dragons? Fish? Flowers? Viking patterns?
I want it all. She answered.

Half-linnen, floating and fixed cables.
9 skeins of alpaca and I’m going to use every spare bit.

Test fitting of the sleeve length. she loves them!

The ugly reality of a top-down sweater. She is fiddly around the neck opening. Have known her for such a long time so i decided to scrap it larger and add a smooth cotton rim…

Rainstorms and bad light all day…

Looking forward to present Ny with her new sweater.
Much too busy for me personally, but she loves all the designs and colors.

Handover of the finished garment.
She loves it! And I love that she loves it.
She kept it on. 28 degrees of summer sun.
