Notes

I love this yarn soooo much - it is incredibly fluffy & light as air.

I have the back & both sleeves blocked & am busy working on the front piece. Hopefully I can actually wear this pullover before the end of winter!

March 20th - the first day of Spring & I am sadly not yet wearing this super cuddly sweater.

I have the shoulders seamed & the neckline finished and am happy with the fit overall - now just have to find some time to sew in the sleeves.

March 23rd - I seamed one side of the sweater & have sewn in one sleeve as well. It looks fabulous, but…have decided to copy Esadler & re-do the too-tight sleeves on larger needles.

Feb 13th, 2017 - Re-doing the sleeves didn’t help much, so this project was packed away (and forgotten) for almost a whole year. I’ve decided to sew it together as is, and pass the sweater on to my mother, who has quite skinny arms!

Feb 26th - officially finished. Washed & blocked it looks & feels amazing, and my mother loves it.

I really like this pattern, but am giving it 4 stars because the schematics only mentioned the length of the sleeves, not the width.
