Notes

You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand

They grey yarn is a mystery lace-weight. I bought 3 cones of it in the charity shop. Making this jumper didn’t seem to make a dent in the total quantity, so I’ll probably be knitting grey things for years to come. A burn test told me it’s definitely animal fibre. It must have some mohair or alpaca because it’s quite hairy, but very soft.

I enjoyed making this jumper and it fits very well. This was my first time doing contiguous sleeves and I’ll definitely use this method again.

I added a bit of length after the hip increases. I also changed the rate of the sleeve decreases slightly but to be honest I needn’t have bothered.

I can see myself making another one of these in different colours. Very happy with it.
