    About

    Wanted to make this for a while but had a few other projects on the go and then we bought a house during a pandemic. We've moved so now I can start new things again.

    Originally I was going to make a size M/L but after reading the sizing instructions a couple of times I decided to size up to a XL. This was definitely the right decision.

    Realised when I was doing the bind off that if I cast off 110 for the armhole then the pattern wouldn't match up along the back. Cast off 120 instead and did a smaller seam along the back. First time doing this kind of cast off so really hoping I don't screw it up.

    I'm a bit worried because the fabric of mine seems looser than pics of other projects. Tension seems ok and I'm using 3.5mm needles as opposed to the 3.75 in the pattern so wondering if it's the alpaca in my yarn vs wool in the others.
