Notes

This yarn was a total impulse buy when I visited The Knitting Niche in Ocean City. I chose Flax because it was a simple pattern that wasn’t too busy for a variegated colorway. It was a super easy knit.

The one change I made: the tapering on the sleeves was not pronounced enough. The sleeve was as long as it needed to be but I still wasn’t done with the decreases and it was too wide, so I frogged back to before they started, then redid it decreasing every 4th round instead of every 6th round. That worked out much better and the sleeves are now more fitted to my arms.
