This week got away from me, I spent most of today thinking it was Wednesday. I started this sweater on Saturday. Thankfully we were in a city visiting family, as I’d overlooked the fact that this pattern uses 12mm needles for the body (the largest I have is 8mm). I was able to run to the store and pick some up right away.

I tried all 3 sizes for the neckline and none looked like the right fit, so I decided to do a provisional cast on and worry about the collar later.

12 mm are HUGE, I don't have those either. But that texture is so worth it, it's beautiful!

Thanks! I was nervous I wouldn’t like how open it is but so far I’m loving it.
