This sweater is very comfortable, and I love this yarn! It is so heavenly soft. The finished sweater is a bit large for me, so I may not wear it to outside. The next time I knit this sweater, I definitely will go with size 40.

GAUGE：
23 sts and 32 rnds in Stockinette stitch using larger
needles = 4” / 10 cm after blocking.

With US 5 needles, my gauge is 24 sts and 30 rnds. The length should be slightly stretched with weight, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. The width is a bit off. I decided to go for size 44.
Start right shoulder with US 5 needles, using provision cast on.

Picked up sts from both left & right shoulder, provision co for back neck. Finished the back portion. It was a bit hard to p/u sts from the side of a shoulder panel without making a large hole.
I really love how this yarn feel on my fingers while knitting. I’m already thinking of buying some more of Madelinetosh Feather.

Finish front portion of upper body. Now folding and joining front & back to continue to the body part.

Body part is almost done with long, long bind off. Seriously, it is really loooong, and I’m exhausted.
Ribbed Bind off
set-up: 1k - purlwise, 1p - knitwise
bind-off:
1k - knitwise and drop, 2k - purlwise /
1p - purlwise, 2p - knitwise /
2k - knitwise and drop, 3k - purlwise and push 1p off /
2p - purlwise and drop, 3p - knitwise (and repeat)

Another way to do tubular bind off 2x2
※After finishing binding off, I thought that I should have used old-fashioned plain bind-off, at least for the body hem. I don’t like how it shaped, so I may need to re-do it IF I have energy.
