Notes

2 strands of 4-ply and 1 strand of mohair held together.
My cables were off centre and I decided to frog them and reknit in the right position.
I had tried to sweater on before frogging the cables and the neckline was huge. I decide to knit the collar before continuing to decide whether it’s ok or I need to frog the whole jumper. I picked only 84 stitches.
So pleased I knitted the collar and tried it on, it gave the sweater beautiful shape.
I shortened section 9 to match section 5.
I also shortened section 11 to match 7.
I have a short back and I am also playing yarn chicken!

104g of 4-ply left for each of the sleeves after finishing body and collar.
60 stitches picked up for the sleeves.

Sleeves decreased to 42 stitches. Followed by eyelet row and ribbing.
30/8 gutted. I ran out of mohair, very close to finishing the second sleeve! Luckily I can get another ball but I sooo wanted to finish this tonight…
80g of merino left.

I blocked the sweater overnight before getting more yarn to finish the sleeve.
I bought another ball of mohair, only needed 3g to finish the sweater.
