Today's lesson: when making a custom knit sweater make sure your customer knows exactly what she will be getting and get correct measurements.
Although this sweater was a "one size" sweater it was supposed to be for a very petite woman. They story behind this sweater is long and I don't need or want to go into details. We'll just chalk it up to a little miscommunication and a little beginners stupidity that turned this project into my very first sweater for myself. Although the yarn and colors would not have been my first choice, I do like how this sweater fits and I love the neckline. And, I'm very proud to say I finally have my very own sweater.
Now onto making major adjustments to a "one size" sweater to make my customer happy. The pattern for this sweater is in a book from Noro, Vol. 22. It's a great book if you love Noro yarn. There are several sweater, vest, hat and scarf patterns in it. The yarn I used was Rowan Tapestry. Hopefully I will be able to make the correct adjustments. If anyone has any great ideas on making adjustments please let me know.
