February Lady Sweater – done!

It’s finally done!

It still needs a little blocking and I haven’t fastened lose ends, and there are no buttons yet – but, other than that, it really is finished. Yay!

Yarn: Araucania Nature Wool, green VE20, bought from Marias Garn. About 400g.
Needles: Addi circs 5,5mm + Brittany dpn’s, also 5,5mm.
Size: M (weird, weird sizes in this pattern – I’m normally an XL gal)

Notes:

Next time (because there will be a next time) I will increase just a few more stitches on the body part, so that it closes just a little more in the front (for this one, I hope the blocking will help with this), and a few less on the sleeve part – the sleeves have a bit too much fabric in this one.

I don’t like the yo-increase round. Next time I will increase without making holes.

I will also rethink how to finish of the sleeves, the swith between the needles shows a bit too much in garter stitch.

A huge plus is the yarn, I love this yarn! It’s beautiful, it’s a dream to knit with and I only needed about 400 g for the whole sweater!!

Overall, I’m happy with the result and this sweater already feels like a favorite even though I’ve just tried it on and not really worn it yet. Now to find some nice buttons!
