Overall, this was a pleasure to knit. I enjoyed using the Lima yarn, which is soft and easy to work with. And I love the sweater design.

I don’t understand why the underarm area was left to be seamed after the fact. Simply knitting in the round and picking up the sleeves would’ve been sufficient. In addition, the pattern specifies a garter stitch selvedge on the edges to be seamed. I think that makes it more difficult. if I were to knit this again, I would alter the instructions for these two specifications.

Also, the sweater required an additional skein of red for size medium than specified. I was lucky that Lindehobby still had a skein in the same dye lot. I recommend purchasing an extra skein if you plan to knit this pattern.
