Notes

Upon getting as far as the yoke, I discovered that I was running out of CC and it wasn’t going to be enough to finish the pattern as written. Thankfully, the pattern wanted a doubled-over neckline, which I hate, so I just cut it a bit short. All well and good.

The jumper fits PERFECTLY and is simply stunning.

The fabulous rainbow pic is used with kind permission from the photographer, Colby Brown. I found it on his G+ page, where he explains in fascinating depth how he achieved the moody depth and contrast in the image.
