I think I underestimated how much the bulk of the fabric itself would affect fit. My gauge swatch grew a little bit in blocking, so the sleeve *might* be OK after blocking, but I&#8217;m sceptical. Nevertheless I blocked just the half-finished sleeve, to check, and now the living room smells like wet sheep.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_4\/3411_sweater_3.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the middle of summer, I am knitting the thickest, warmest, woolliest sweater I&#8217;ve ever made.
