Notes

It’s a design that provokes conflicting thoughts. First, of course, there is fascination, because the pattern is absolutely wonderful and the colours chosen by Anne…. they are extremely difficult to change.
The second thought that arises - do I want to start this all over colourwork sweater with fingering yarn!!! And I’ve got some steeking to do!

Yes, I definitely do!
I thought about my hesitations and decided that I really wanted to knit this sweater. It’s not really a complicated design, unless you count the steeks in a few places, which actually makes it a lot easier to knit.
And the colour work itself is quite positive, because you have something new every round, so you don’t get bored.

Ribs are worked in Einband and are 4cm.
I used the mohair in the flowers, together with Supersoft, to smooth the transition between the two purples.
No other modifications.
