In Which the Pirate Has a New Sweater

It seemed to take forever for the green Extra Lite Bright sweater to dry, and then we had several days without any good sunlight, but I’ve finally taken pictures! Here it is laid out on the fancy blocking mat (an old towel) with the leftover yarn… just a few grams each of colours B and C left, and not too much more of D. I only used about half of colour A, though. I wish the pattern had suggested continuing farther in A if you’re only using four colours; it had explanations for how to figure out where to start the fade sections if you were using more than the five colours it was written for – but it didn’t say anything about four. I’d’ve been able to make full length sleeves… ah well, I know for the future! After its bath, the sweater is softer, much more drapey, and the length is perfect. It’s super comfy and also I think it might have benefited from some shaping, as it’s knit straight and I chose the size based on my full bust measurement. I’m going to have to learn how to math out…
