the first picture is AFTER I accidentally felted it :( Still kinda fits, though.

Pictures someday? I love this sweater - it’s just hard to get someone else to take my picture for me.

Mods (I added these months after knitting it, so I am hoping they are spot on):

Used a cable cast on and casted on 77 stitches instead of the 67 it called for.
(Back 47sts) Added 8
rows for the back length.

Added sleeves to make it a cardigan instead of a vest. So for row 45 : K32, place next 37sts on holder,CO 10 sts, K57 for back, place next 37sts on holder, CO 10sts, k32.

Followed someone elses decrease mods (wish I remembered who to give them credit!): Pick up 37sts from holder then pick up 22sts under the arm placing a marker at 11sts. Decrease as follows:

round 1: knit
2: k1,ssk, k to 3sts before marker, k2tog, k1 = 57 sts
3: repeat round 2 = 55sts
4: repeat round 2 = 53sts
5: repeat round 2 = 51sts
6: repeat round 2 = 49sts
7: repeat round 2 = 47sts
8: knit
decrease every 5th row or so until you reach 40sts. knit until about 2 1/2” away from desired length. Do twisted rib pattern.

I also added the twisted rib pattern to the bottom of the sweater as well as to the cuffs.

My sleeves accidentally ended up being 3/4 length. I thought I would get around to adding length to them but that never happened. I now like them the length that they are, it makes it more appropriate as a spring/summer sweater.
