Notes

Finished just in time for my first trip to Rhinebeck!

This is also my birthday sweater as I used a gift card given to me on my 50th to buy the yarn.

I followed the pattern almost exactly and the fit is just great. The only mods are a few extra stitches in the hip area, a slight lengthening (again to accommodate the hips) and a wee shortening of the sleeve cap. Oh, I also did the collar as a single layer rather than a double fold. This yarn seemed too bulky for that kind of collar.

Love this very, very much.
