I’ve been wanting to knit myself a sweater from this book. Now that I’ve completed all my mandates, I can make something for me. The yarn I chose is a silk wool blend, loose single ply and slightly thicker than worsted weight. I had to go up one size needle to get gauge. Oddly, I don’t have much in a size ten. I had to settle for a much longer needle than I would have liked. If it weren’t Winter, I probably would have gone shopping. Sometimes, I like to knit on big needles.
