Knit the upper (stockinette) portion of this during our 22-hour holiday road trip, because there is no better way to spend a 22-hour road trip.

The Blacker knits up like a dream - and blocks just as dreamily. Overall, this sweater is like wearing a giant, fluffy cloud; I adore it.

On Short Rows: It took two froggings, but I eventually produced some semi-respectable short rows using Bristol’s method. The result is nearly identical to that of German short-rows, which I typically use; were I to knit again, I think I’d stick with the devil I know.

On the modeled WIP Photo: Taken after five repeats of Chart B, if curious. (I always knit sleeves early, as nothing kills my knitting mojo quite like sleeves.)

Notes/Errata:

• See my KAL post if you’re not sure how to divide for the second sleeve.
• The written Chart B instructions refer to SK2P, which is a typo. It should refer to S2KPO. (The Chart B illustration is correct; it’s just the written instructions that are inaccurate.)
• I knit the aforementioned S2KPO as “slip two, knit one, pass slipped stitches over” - which is not how the index defines this stitch series, but that’s the way I’ve always interpreted it. :shrug emoji:
