Notes

finished colorwork, working body now.

I chose a bamboo yarn rather than the thicker 100% wool suggested as I live in a warm climate. Sweater is quite drape-y as expected but I did not account for the neck. In the future I would chose the crew neck style rather than the mock neck.
- yarn choice impacted yarn usage. Only used 233 yards of CC, rather than estimated 299. Bought an extra ball of yarn.
