This was Charlie's choice. I've never knitted a garment top down, let alone on circular needles. However, it was ok. I managed the magic loop doing the sleeves, easy when know how! Had to google though. As the wool was chunky and came in 50gm balls I had lots of ends to weave in. If I did this all in one piece again I would join at the sides and in this case in the rib at the sides. I was unable to source Quince & Co Puffin yarn (it was very expensive too) so I chose the best yarn substitute with a 99% match...Drops Design , Drops Eskimo a single ply 100% wool yarn, which I ordered from Wool Warehouse at £1.90 per ball and a huge selection of colours, https://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/yarn/drops-eskimo-all-colours I thought this knitted up very well, however, it is quite unrefined so if you are sensitive to wool on your skin it wouldn't be for you.

Love it, working on something similar atm:)
You've done a really good job, I'm just doing my first top down jumper on a circular needle and the sleeves say double ended needles which I've never used before so I will be googling as well. It's going ok so far.
How lovely you have done a great job
