Too short! Finished this project with a yard or so of yarn left. Held my breath when it was blocked and ready to be tried on. Alas, it’s a little too short in the torso for Gui. It would suit me ok, as I prefer extra large sweaters, but I don’t love how wide the neckline turned out either. It’s in the frog pile (I’ve got a lot of things I plan to rework this year!), so I’ll be thinking of what to make with this lovely, rustic and moody yarn next. I will say, knitting with dark colors is just not my favorite. Lots of squinting to see stitches in low light, but I enjoyed knitting this on sunnier days, where the variegated flecks of green really shined through.
