Notes

Trying the one again in a fingering weight rather than the Sport weight.

It is quite a wide boat neck, I like it, but I would feel safer if the shoulders came a wee bit higher, this way it feels like it could slip off a little too easily. Haven’t blocked it yet, so we’ll see how it does after blocking.

I ended up pulling out the neck and reknitting it, decreasing quite a bit more than called for, it’s still wide but it isn’t falling off my shoulders anymore.

It grew a little with blocking, but overall feels like it’s going to be a comfy sweater, that I can actually wear indoors without another layer under it.
