Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I can't believe I actually finished this thing. I got my yarn (well not all of the yarn) in May 2022, and I started sometime that fall. Now here we are, two and a half years later, and it's done!

I learned so much from this sweater, mostly patience. But I also learned that, yes, the dye lots DO matter and that's not a random thing people online tell you to pay attention to. Oh, and I really should've made a proper swatch, the sleeves stretched a little too much.

There are definitely other mistakes, enough that part of me is tempted to undo it, but I think it would break my heart to undo it all. I think I'm going to keep it for the memories!
