When I found this project - I thought: no way, I won’t handle it. After first assumption I’ve checked a chart published on Angela’s blog which changed everything! This seemingly difficult to follow pattern changed into easy and plesant to knit. So If you’re going to cast-on this project but you feel discouraged by the difficulty, use this chart! It will not only let you to save time, sweater from throwing it out, but also will make this knitting journey a very nice one. Thank you very much Angela!

I finished! yay! It took almost a week before it was dry… but beside that - I love it!
I made only two modifications, instead of two small pockets I made one big, and I omitted pocket on the sleeve. But beside that I followed the pattern instructions. The pattern is clever you don’t have to do anything with it.
The only thing I need to correct - is a lack of cowl. The sweater is very warm and I feel a little bit naked around the neck, I need to figure out what to do with it.

The sleeves, they are much more different than a normal raglan sleeves, I’m not sure if I like them yet, I need to get used to them. But they look great. So I’m going to give them a chance ;) What choice anyway do I have now ;)
