Cast on when my pal invited me to go to Amsterdam with her - and blocked two days before our departure. Absolute perfection.

Full body photos to follow when I feel like taking ‘em!

• Used German short-rows (versus wrap-and-turn per the pattern).
• Added a bit of colorwork to the hem and sleeve cuffs.
• For the sleeves: Completed twelve decreases as written (every inch), then added the two colorwork rows before knitting an inch (versus three inches) of ribbing, as I prefer a bracelet-length sleeve.
• Cropped length per my usual preference.

Yarn courtesy of my coworker, Zach, who thoughtfully gifted me a Purl Soho giftcard for Xmas 2025. This yarn is both warm and surprisingly soft against the skin (though my more sensitive friend found it a tad scratchy).
