    Very clear, easy to follow instructions!

    I've been knitting for 4 decades, a somewhat perpetual beginner limited to basically 2 patterns, one baby sweater and one Afghan. I've been wanting to make myself a sweater for years and have failed several times. Tried to make one for my dear daughter-in-law just before COVID and gave up and made an Afghan. Finally! A pattern I could completely (enough) understand! I have a sweater! I'm retired so was able to concentrate on it and finished in less than 3 weeks. My gauge was good, so I foolishly didn't bother to take any measurements except to choose what size to make, but it is perfect! I love it! Planning to make for all the ladies in my family!
