This was the sweater I actually made after all of the late-May “what sweater should I make” insanity. I decided that I could take the time and brainpower to change the sweater for my gauge and non-32” bust size. I think it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. All the details on how I altered it are on the project’s Ravelry page which I can’t promise are 100% correct but it’s all I’ve got.
The yarn was part of my haul from Maryland Sheep and Wool. It’s super soft (and superwash) wool from Shelridge Farms up in the Canadian countryside. Okay, they may be from a big city but my mind always thinks of Canada as a beautiful country town. I grabbed four skeins but only used three (660 yards). Of course, I am *really* short-waisted and only did short sleeves so take my yardage with a gain of salt. A Mini Cooper-sized grain of salt.
I feel the need to note that it doesn’t fit quite as well as it may appear in the photos. It’s a tad short and a bit too billowy at the hem. Though, really, I did pretty well for having to do some math.
Yarn/Pattern Combination: 10
Pattern Directions: I sort of tossed them out the window because of using Worsted vs Bulky and not having a size 32″ bust. Overall, though, the directions were quite clear and I’d give them a 10 if I’d actually used them. Designer gets a heartfelt thanks for a free pattern but a tiny sad face for only providing one size.
