Dolman, a sweater for me

AAAhhhhhh, finally! The sweater is blocking after much tweaking. It turns out my gauge was off and my sleeves turned out five inches too long. Yikes! As you’ll see from lovely picture it’s peacefully resting waiting to dry.

I can’t wait for it to dry and see if my shaping aka forcing has made a difference in shrinking the sleeves a bit.

Up Next
I’ve started DH’s Tour de Lance socks and I’m eyeing the “Ruffles” pattern from Scarf Style for my Interlacements Montana purchase. I think the colors and texture would be loads of fun on this. I was also thinking of a Mobius scarf but would like a little spice for it. Don’t know.

Any thoughts?

    I *adore* the Ruffles scarf - I’ve been wanting to make it for ages. I have some handpainted merino on hand in blues and turquoises that I want to make it from. I think your yarn would be shown off really well in that lovely swirly shape!
