Ta da! Finished, washed, and now worn: My top-down yoke sweater in Estrellita yarn from Miss Babs. Fingering weight. #3 needle for everything but the top ribbing and the bottom and sleeve ribbings. Those are done on #2 needles. Took me about a month to knit. I'm very fast but with a lot of stitches and skinny yarn and needles, these fingering wt sweaters take forever.
This is based very loosely on the Spector sweater by JoJi Locatelli. I used her increases and how she integrated the various yarns. My version has a different yoke, no patterns on body or sleeves, and I widened it out at the waist and about 4" below that. So, 4 sts increased at the sides for the first increase, and then another 4 increased later on. I like the slight flare, and in my old age, I've gotten blubby, so increasing the width makes it not snug below the waist. Or something like that.
love the sweater you are so fast!! and so nice to see you too!!
