Pattern: Shalom
Yarn: Queensland Collection Uruguay Chunky
Needles: Knit Picks Options US 10 1/2
Mods: Like many others on Ravelry, I shortened the yoke by 2 rows in each section (a total of 6 rows). I only cast-on 10 stitches for the underarms.
Verdict: I love it. It fits me so well, no extra fabric bunching up in the armpits - which usually happens to me with raglans. The yarn is really cozy and soft. The alpaca in it is only slightly tickly and I can wear it with only a cami underneath and it is fine. I would definitely recommend this pattern.
Beautiful!!! I love the color and fit on you. It's perfect!

ReplyDeleteHello! I'm a regular reader delurking since I realized you are the one with the pretty Shalom made of Uruguay Chunky on Ravelry. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm considering making Shalom as I too bought a 10 ball bag of Uruguay Chunky a while back from Little Knits. Did you think this yarn was a good choice for Shalom?
