This is going VERY fast. And I have to say, I was quite apprehensive of going bottom-up, as I’m partial to top-down construction, and the complete lack of sewing/grafting needed when going that way. But. Bottom up offers the chance to get the boring swaths of stockinette out of the way and leave the best, meaning the colourwork fun, for last. And I do like that a LOT.

I added length to the sweater to better fit my personal style.
Also, I’m going to do the sleeves 2 at a time, so this is bound to go even faster.

it’s going slow now, bc I got a flare up of atopic dermatitis, which is on my hands, so I need to wait until it clears up, a few days. If i manage to not knit. If I won;t, i’ll just make it worse :(

done. modded the neckline into 5 rows of ribbing on 5mm needles. Just one short row at the collar.
