Notes

I really liked this yarn. I would definitely use it again for another sweater. I usually have to go down a needle size and a pattern size for gauge and I did on this pattern. The collar is rather tall. It calls for 32 stitches. I just did 30 and it would still be too tall for me. I used the Philosopher’s wool colorwork technique and I like it very much.
