This is my forth pattern I have done for myself by Thea Coleman. I enjoyed doing the cable work at the front and I used the back and sides to practise improving my speed and technique. I have got better at using only one finger to bring the wool around, but not as much better as I had hoped! I tried continental style knitting too, but I found my tension was fluctuating too much to practice that mid-project.
I am very happy with the jumper except with the length of the front. I would like it to be about an inch longer. I measured everything when I started and throughout, and I have been happy with the fit from this designer every other time, so I am not sure what went wrong here. I made the sleeves longer than in the pattern because I like longish sleeves. The neckhole is slightly too wide for me but I expected this as I have narrow shoulders. I would sew it together more but it will make the front even shorter.
The wool has more colour variation than I expected when I ordered it.
