Notes

I got 8 skeins of this yarn from AB when she was destashing, and OMG do I ever wish it wasn’t discontinued. It’s amazing! Really soft, and sproingy. Technical term, that one. :)

The sweater is improvised. It’s just a top down raglan with YO increases for the sleeves and a V-neck. I prettied it up with a little lacy leaf pattern down the sleeves, and finished it off with a seed stitch border. I don’t think I’ll ever knit seed stitch again after this bad boy… the button bands/neck edge took FOREVER! Aside from the seed stitch torture, I’m really happy with how it came out. I think if I ever knit one like it again, I’ll do the V-neck increases slower so the V is deeper.

The color is impossibly hard to photograph… The third picture (featuring yours truly) is the most true to color.
