    About

    FInally a chance to use some 'girlie' yarn!
    This was shared by a fellow knitter on this community so thought I would have a go. I loved the detail on the shaping although its a bit lost on the varied coloured yarn.
    Took me as long to sew up as it did to knit the sections!
    If I made it again, I'd try a 3 needle bind off at the shoulders and keeping tighter edge stitches at the neck shaping :D(
    The yarn was quite easy to match the colour changes and it just worked out well so that I managed it with 2 x 50g balls.

        Thank you Helen. It was actually quite easy with this yarn and just worked out right when I'd finished the first front the next bit of yarn was just right! Sleeves needed a bit more planning :D)
