used the stated hooks in pattern. Takes more effort than a normal garment due to the extra shaping. People at work liked looking at the progress of the pretty jumper. The colour is slightly more blue/ purple in real life. Did no waist shaping as I already found it tight enough which worked out with blocking. Alternated yarns in the body but wasn’t worried about the sleeves. I like both sides but due to darning in ends its only one sided. Shortened the sleeves for the cuff only to have 20 stitches. I also got lost with the cuff/ bottom edging join so I did my own thing. LOved the faux rib looks very effective and smart.
