I finished knitting this about July last year but with everything packed away and 11 months of building dust I've had nowhere to lay it out to block it - until now.
I don't have any need for big, heavy sweaters and I can't stand anything woolly with a high neck. Patterns are hard to come by that fit what I am looking for but I liked this one. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal. It's 95% wool 5% cashmere I think. I baulked at the price but it didn't take much - only 2 balls and I got it in a sale. I don't think it is available any more. I soaked it in Eucalan wool wash before I blocked it and it is soft enough not to make my arms itchy. I would always wear at least a sleeveless cotton top under anything woolly. (I'm not really an orangey colour - light was odd)
