Notes

I made full length sleeves, body is much too short though. Taking out bind off and adding about 6 inches in length now. My fault as I never checked row guage, only stitch gauge, which is looser than the swatch. I think I will shrink the whole sweater and then stretch it to dry. Hopefully to measurements. All the more reason to make it longer. I really like this pattern though. I think I will try it again, in a different and more colorful yarn. Maybe with a simple lace pattern?

It is great, I could possibly shrink it more, not sure if it shrunk much at all, I washed it in the washer on wool washables and just laid it out to dry, did not block it. I am considering dying it but I like the sweater! Fits well and I am sure it will still fit over heavier winter clothes.
