This was an experience: I decided to do some sweater math and make this with different needles and yarn and well, the math didn’t work. I ended up way more stitches than I wanted, and it was a slog to finish it off — I went off pattern, and liberally used K2tog to make it work. But — surprisingly, and even with the six trillion mistakes - it turned out quite well and is my size. It has the feel I wanted: a cozy, 1980s-esque sweater. The original (and far nicer) pattern is here.

Am currently making a scarf and will finally get onto the Petite Knit Balloon Cardigan next!
