Notes

Sooo happy to be part of the testteam for the Old Compass sweater slightly_smiling_face Will use the same colors as I knitted my Old Compass cowl, will change the color order only…

Because of our holidays, I started late… with provisional cast on and needle size 3.0mm, changed to 3.25mm after the short rows… feels like coming home, to repeat this cute colorwork…
Body and sleeves are separated… and I had to reknit this part because of my carelessness… I knitted in the evening and started the wrong colorwork after separating… so, same player shots again laughing
And again face_with_rolling_eyes I had to go back, because I missed one row… I’m probably to unfocused…
Body is off the needles slightly_smiling_face now onto the sleeves…

as I wanted a straight loose body, I made a few mods:
decreased body stitches to 306 for the ribbing only
shortened the body ribbing to 3cm
used ktbl for the ribbings

Total amount for my sweater is:
MC (pussy willow) - 143gr = 820m
CC1 (kingfisher) - 50gr = 287m
CC2 (sweat pea) - 34gr = 195m
CC3 (brass) - 21gr = 120m
CC4 (marlin) - 60gr = 345m

Anne, thank you so much for having me for this tesknit!
I really enjoyed this knit, although I knitted some parts twice because of my carelessness!
