Notes

Will use amazing plantbased handdyed yarn by Mira von Mach, WoolArt: 50% silk + 50% merino, 2 plied slightly_smiling_face for this beauty… Minimalist sweater

Started these testknit for Rachel with needle size 2.75mm and alternating cable cast on. Opted for the flat neckline. Changed to needle size 3.0mm after the short rows.

Although I initially planned a two-tone version… I followed a short-term decision to add some left overs from my stash for the colorwork…

both sleeves are done, now back to the mindless stockinette body rounds… and off the needles just in time v

Pattern is very well written and easy to follow!

Left yarn is: MC 25gr and CC 86gr
Used yardage is:
MC - 962m
CC (red) - 49m
on top few metres left overs in different colors

Dear Rachel, thank you so much for having me in your testteam!
