Notes

What a lovely design! This has got to be the first time, in years, that I didn’t change a single thing and followed the pattern exactly as written. I am impressed!

The instructions were well organized and easy to follow. It just would have been nice to know where the marker was intended to be when starting with the upper body:
Row 1 (RS):…m1L, k1, sm, k1, m1R; p1, C3R, p1; m1L, k1, sm, k1, m1R; p1…

Since I completely underestimated the amount of yarn I needed for my last sweater, I decided to knit the sleeves for this one before finishing the body - just in case. As it turned out, I had more than enough yarn.

This is the second time I use Drops Lima and found this particular order to be softer and fluffier than the last. It’s a wonderful yarn to knit with.
