Notes

Am I crazy for attempting this? Most definitely.

Swish is sooo soft I almost hope this comes out too small so I can have it instead.

Read through the pattern like a thousand times but I’m still not sure I know how the chart + steeks are supposed to be done. If there even are steek panels??? Or I just cut into it????? Oh well. I’ve got many weeks of stockinette to get through first worry about it later okay Eileen

I am still going on the body of this thing. It’s so boring I’ve been letting it sit for months at a time. But now I want the needles to start something else so I’ve actually been putting some time into it. Motivation!

Omg I FINALLY made it to the chart.

Finished the body and started sleeves. Doing them 2 at a time until the chart starts.

PHEW. Finally done! This was quite the undertaking for a novice sweatermaker.

I ended up securing the steeks with a backstitch done by hand in both directions. I used a non-superwash wool for this and for the seaming and it seemed to hold pretty well. Only a few loose bits.

I also modified the collar. It’s just a 2 x 2 rib with a couple short rows added to the back.

Final thoughts? I will NEVER make a black sweater ever again!!!!
