Gather ye currants

Gather ye currants

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaca sport weight in “Currant”

Pattern: Gathered Pullover by Hana Jason

Notes: for a mostly stockinette project, this took a lot longer than I originally thought. But then, I did also start and finish three other smaller projects while working on this one…! If you’re on Ravelry you can read my notes; suffice to say that I used a yarn that did not get anywhere near the right gauge but thanks to my old frienemy MATH, it all worked out in the end. I absolutely love this pullover. LOVE! IT!
