I’m using a fingering single, brand unknown, for the first stripe, then the MT Merino Light, and then the Vilaines for the rest of the pullover (so, 3 colours). I can’t find the origin of the pale beige/grey first stripe: it’s almost a skein’s worth, definitely hand-dyed. Mellifera? Welthase? hmm.

I’m really rather into this very plain V-necked, split-hem style: I now have a pattern in sport weight (that I’ve adapted), fingering weight (this one) and another free one (though round-necked) in DK. Very versatile and easy to wear.

NB: with this Jen pattern, I hadn’t noticed that the sleeves are knitted in reverse st st, which is a nice detail. Great idea, Josée, to turn the piece inside out to knit the sleeves - I will remember that one!

Mods: longer in the body: I knitted to 15” before the division of hems. I’ve knitted the front and back hems slightly shorter though (2” rather than 3” before working the bottom rib).

eta: will try to remember to weigh the pullover, so I can get a better idea of total yardage.
