Notes

I really enjoyed this test. I called it my fancy sweater and I just haven’t got to show it off yet. It’s definitely a show piece, something that will get a lot of compliments.

The pattern is well written and the support for the test was very responsive as would be for the pattern I imagine. The videos were helpful and easy to follow. I highly recommend this pattern.

I got 24 sts in my swatch which was blocked and now that I’m down to the main body the gauge is 26, but that is not blocked, knitted in the round but I hope it will block out.

Blocked 25 sts (in the round).

This is size 2 yoke with a size 3 body. I have a 38” bust and I ended with 43” so this garment has 5” of positive ease.

This black yarn from Temu I’m not sure how I feel about it. It has a static so great that I’ve never seen in yarn. When I pull it out it sticks to everything, including my computer monitor and my arm and hands!! That being said the finished fabric is quite beautiful. We’ll see when it’s fully blocked. The colour is extremely black and I love that! When purchased it was called a sport but once I plugged it in to Ravelry they call it a lace. What? I don’t agree. It’s a bit thicker than lace. It drapes beautifully and has a very light feel.

Also wearing the On The C Train hat.
