Notes

I’m making this with four inches of positive ease and depending on my yarn quantities, might make it a little longer than the pattern calls for. I’m hoping for something a little big, soft and cozy to wear with skinny jeans.

The color is one of my favorites and I think it will be perfect for this project.

I’m starting this tonight, December 31, 2014, New Year’s Eve, after dinner, but tagging it as 2015, because this will be my first sweater of the year!

Notes:
There are two places it says to start working in the round, join at the first time. I didn’t and I have a little jog. It disappeared when I finished the neckline, but it would have looked neater if I had done it the other way.

Size 7’s - the majority of the knitting
Size 8’s - 9 inch circular used for the sleeves. I’ve found I knit tighter on these needles, so I need to go up in size.
Size 5’s - sleeve ribbing and neckline.

I used the Size 7’s for the lower ribbing as I don’t want it to pull in.
