Notes

11/17/2023 - going to hold 3 strands of my cashmere with 1 strand of my mohair alternative.

NOTES

  1. I was spot on with my gauge swatch and the yarns bloomed and softened up SOOOO beautifully. My finished fabric is a bit airy, but I think it will work out perfectly to help keep the cashmere/mohair/wool blend of fibers from getting too warm when I wear it.
  2. I feel like the proportions for the sweater start to get off a bit as the sizes get larger. The length grading seems to be out of proportion than the width grade. I ended up knitting the armholes 2” shorter and the total body length 3” shorter than the pattern calls for.
  3. 02/26/2025 - well, it took me a year, but i finally finished this sweater. I’m pretty happy with it, but if I were to knit it again (which I don’t think I would actually do) I would do a few things differently. 1.) I would add a few extra stitches after splitting for the body to get a bit boxier of a fit. 2.) I do not recommend brioche while holding 4 strand of yarn together. 3.) I would reverse the right vs left leaning decreases for the sleeves. I think it would have produced a smoother transition down the sleeve for my taste.
