Finished the upper back today. Also picked up stitches for the right front. One skein of yarn got me through the I-cords and all but one row of the upper back.

Finished the knitting, seaming the pockets, and sewing on the buttons today. Will wet block tomorrow and then get photos, final gauge measurements, and yardage.

Used almost all of the 9 skeins of the Ulysse. I forgot that I usually shorten the sleeves on Heidi’s patterns by an inch or two (short arms, I guess), but these are cute rolled up too.

I didn’t measure gauge, but I pretty much blocked to the pattern schematic. That gave me about 5.5” of ease in the bust and it’s super comfortable over both tees and a buttoned linen shirt.

I am very happy with how this turned out. Love the happy green Kermit-y color.

The Ulysse is really warm but lightweight. If you haven’t used it before and you like woolly wools, I highly recommend it. Bouncy, springy, blocks really well, and pretty affordable. I love their Gilliatt for worsted projects too.
