Gauge swatch finished: swatch grew quite a bit during blocking so somehow managed to hit gauge.

Cast on size M for 6” of positive ease.

Modifications: half-twisted rib collar

Finished collar — really enjoyable process and lovely finish.

Yoke on hold until I find my shorter 4mm needles.

Finally started the yoke after buying new needles.

Completed neckline shaping. Really enjoying working with this yarn so far.

Finally finally finished the yoke! Only took so long because I did 36 rounds of the increases instead of 26. Yes, I am an idiot.

Body finished! The ribbing took so long but it’s done.

Modification: ribbing reduced to 3”, half-twisted rib.

Picked up stitches for sleeve #1 — took a while to figure out how to close the holes but got there in the end.

Finished right sleeve, started left sleeve.

Modification: half-twisted rib, shortened ribbing to 3”

April 16, 2025

Completed second sleeve with same modifications as right sleeve.

Just need to weave in the ends (soooooooo many because this yarn had a lot of knots) and block — then it’s done!

On the blocking mats! I’m counting that as done.
