Notes

Another Raven pullover, as I so loved my daughter’s version. I’m using up a few of the half-balls of Flora that were left over (brown, mid-grey and off-white), plus a cerise, denim blue and a charcoal shade; the light grey is the MC.

Mods: I’ve added 2” to the body (as in my previous version) and I’ve shifted the BOR on the yoke to the back left armhole: no matter what, there always seems to be a slight jog in my stranded knitting at the BOR, and moving this to an offset position just takes one’s eye off it. I think.

Also I’ve knitted the neck ribbing for 4.5cm, then turned and sewn it down on the inside: I always like the look and feel of these turned-over ribbed necklines.

FO: love how this feels to wear! This is a roomier fit than I usually go for, but I rather like it. Bad hair day, but can’t be helped as I’m just off for a swim… allons-y!
