Notes

I wanted the basic bitch mohair monstrosity thing. The pattern is not basic, though, it’s very pretty! Gonna be good!
IT’S SO FLUFFY!

31.12.2023

I have to say, the folding of the neck was the worst time I had. Took me an hour. Next time I’ll just provisional cast on instead of this picking up from the cast on edge. I could’t see diddly squat in all the fuzz.

Yoke done, and short rows. splitting for sleeves!

Mohair everywhere, including in my mouth, nose, and eyes.

The ease on this sweater is quite big compared to my usual fare, so i’m only adding moderate boob shaping. just 12 more stitches in 2 vertical darts in the underarms, immediately after splitting for sleeves, and 6 rows of short row horizontal boob darts after the additional stitches are done.

Sailing the Sea of Stockinette, but hoping to reach Sleeve Island soon! <3

26.01.2024

I have successfully navigated the Sea of Stockinette. Finished the body, and checked the fit. It’s lovely as it is, so after blocking it’ll be amazing!

Currently I took residence upon the Sleeve Island 1. I just really don’t want to deal with 8 strands of yarn needed to do sleeves two at a time.

Moved to Sleeve Island 2!
