Notes

If my result looks like these promising fotographs I will be more than happy. This ist a very beautiful design. But I’m not sure if this is a really new design:
Riverstone Boatneck
Very easy knitting so far for me. But to a beginner I’d say: Be careful with the increases and the andalusian pattern. And check the measurements on you. I definitely don’t have a 35cm upper arm circumference. But the good news is - its knitted top down, so I can adjust it to my size easily.
I would always use an alpaca quality yarn because of the pattern structure.

09.03.2012 - Cast off main body. Hurra - it fits!
12.03.2012 - First sleeve ready, but skipped the increase part, I don’t like it. I prefer 3/4 sleeves.
13.03.2012 - Second sleeve done.

Did I mention I love this? Yeah, I really do!
