The Knit Purl Girl
Biella Sweater
Completed: February 2023
Yarn: Sandnes Garn Sunday held with one strand of We Are Knitters Touch Me Mohair
Yarn colour: 1015 Putty (Sunday); Natural (Touch Me Mohair)
Size: B
Modifications:
Mock neck (original sample has a turtleneck).
The elbow area was baggy/stretched out after the first wear so I added elastic in that area.
My sleeves are 7 cm longer than the pattern sample.
Post-wear thoughts
Likes
This yarn combination is next-to-skin soft for me ie. I can wear a bra only underneath, no camisole.
The decreases along the arm are not just neat, but smartly designed.
The 2x2 all-over ribbing is very comfortable.
Dislikes
The original pattern has a rolled turtleneck and no short rows. I created a mock neck and should have added short rows for a better fit around the neck. This is my bad, not the pattern.
Not really a dislike, but wanted to note that this sweater is very warm for me.
