I am a tight knitter and my tension was 1” shorter than should be so instead of using larger needles, I decided to just make the next size up, as the yarn is 4ply didn’t want it to be holey!

It is taking a bit of concentration so far but I am sure it will get easier once used to the pattern!

The back of the jumper came up REALLY high on me so I had to do a bit of sewing to make it right! So I hemmed it to where I wanted it to be, then picked up stitches for the I cord from the edge of the new seam, then after completed the I cord, cut the excess material from the hem as there were approx. 3cm at the deepest point!! I am pleased with the end result now!

Unfortunately my stripy yarn turned out different in the middle section of my jumper, I still like it though!
