Expected modifications: I’ll likely lengthen the body and I’m unsure about sleeves, at least 3/4 length.

Actual modifications: lengthened body, knitted on hem to pair in with the body stripe patterning (more or less), long sleeves (with corrugated ribbing at cuff), hood

My measurements (inches): I’m 5’1” with a ~33” bust, 31.5” hip; 26” waist. 14” from my hip to armhole.

Yardage remaining: I used up nearly two entire skeins of MC, N8A. I only have just over 1g aka 4.25 yards (4m) of MC left! I have significantly more of the fade kit remaining… just over 95g or 415.25 yd (379.75m).

Project Log

  • 2023-01-18 W — sleeves complete!

    Finally finished the second sleeve today and began the hood. Here’s hoping my merging of several patterns results in something that works on the first try. My goal is to finish knitting by the 20th just because that’s the approximate start date of the next Artyarns KAL. 8p: about 5 cm in. Goal is about…

  • 2023-01-05 R — check twice, knit once.

    Sleeves knit much better when you check both stitch count and gauge. Ripped out first sleeve attempt. Now working over 60sts to start (technically size M) and dec 2sts after 20 rnds twice. Switching colours every 7 repeats. I think it’ll work out. Current plan is to end with corrugated ribbing.

  • 2022-12-05M

    Everyone is now recovering at home. My day 5 is today. Picking up sts for other sleeve so they match before I forget what st counts were. After much debate have decided to knit sleeves as written.

  1. I absolutely love this sweater and want to make it. I’ll be talking to you as I dont think I have ever done anything quite like this. It was so nice to meet you yesterday. I am terrible with faces so don’t be hurt if I don’t recognize you next time I see you!
