The super thick, super woolly sweater is done. Has been for several weeks already, but I didn’t get around to taking photos of it before we went to Estonia.

Looks stylish, doesn’t it? Too bad that I probably won’t get to wear it much outside the home, because I suspect it’ll be too bulky to fit under my (usually relatively form-fitting) coats and jackets.

The design and especially the construction of the triangular wedges comes from the Tell It Slant pattern, but I wanted a different fit and used a different yarn so I did the shaping myself, based on this tutorial for a basic top-down raglan sweater.

Overall it went smoothly. I had to make several attempts before I got the sleeve sizing right, but that’s par for the course. The only bit I struggled with was the neckline. I bound it off one way and it was too tight; I bound it off in a stretchier way and it was all floppy. I ended up using a weird hybrid of the two, where I alternated between the methods for every other stitch.
