Notes

Did you know that IF you knit a swatch, larger than you want, AND you wash it and dry it, AND measure it carefully,

THEN

The math to alter for a different body shape or to account for different gauge IS NOT HARD.

Take the time to knit a gauge swatch. Truer words were never written. stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye

Tonight I finally got enough sleeve to try this on, and as I had been suspecting, the sweater as is, is miles too big. I also decided that the dropped shoulder/ dolman sleeve just doesn’t look good on me. So, sadly I frogged the sweater.

I did really enjoy the interesting construction, love the very deep V and the pretty ribbed trim. I expect I will use these details in a future sweater, so all is not lost.
