Notes

One of those projects that I wasn’t convinced I was going to like and in fact I love it…. Very wearable garment, fits lovely (though I did add an extra 30 rows onto each sleeve to give a decent length) and a real winner. Found some bits difficult and bits like the skirt part easy so difficult to give overall grading.

Ended up knitting the sleeves flat and then seaming them. Cast on extra stitch at each side for seaming allowance. Gave a far more consistent stitch than magic loop circular - plus damn sight quicker! Pattern well written and professional touches like i-cord at sleeve end.

Yarn is made for this project. Cosy, lightweight and drapes beautifully. Also washed well with no growth /shrinkage.
