Omg this sweater is slow knitting. Easy but slow…..grrrr the fabric is amazing though.

At arm holes for the back. Run out of kid haze ball before the lace. good thing i had some left from the same dye lot. The front will have to be made from a new dye lot and will be a bit different.
I wish the dec inc instructions were easier worded. the verbiage is hard to understand, maybe its a British thing.
