\nI like it, but I don’t love it.
\nThe main problem is that I really need to stop being so lazy, and wash my swatches. It grew when I blocked it. Both in length and width. Before blocking, it was much more fitted, which s what I was going for. However, I am glad of the extra length in the sleeves, because they were a tiny bit short. The body is a little too long for my liking now.
\nBut I do like it, and I will wear it, which is an improvement over many of my previous knits!
\nSpecs –
\nYarn: Cleckheaton Angora Supreme, seven and a half balls.
\nNeedles: 4mm Knit Picks Options. (Recommended needle is 4.5mm, going down a size is pretty standard for me)
\nPattern: Good old Sweater Wizard, customised to make what I wanted.
\nOverall 7.5 out of 10.
\nThe yarn is sadly discontinued. I wish I had stashed more of it away. It’s lovely and lightweight to wear, but still feels warm. It has a nice halo, too.

\nThe halo was hard to photograph! It also has the added benefit of excess bunny hair not mattering! Usually I’m constantly picking bunny hair off my clothes.
\nSaturday sky!

\nAll week it’s been unable to decide whether we should have sun or not, and today was no different. It was nice and sunny one minute, cold and grey the next.
\nFifi is powering along.
