This is a great sweater. ????
???? I am gonna give it a try as soon as I decide on my yarn. Thanks
There is no information regarding how many St’s should be sk’d for sleeves, can you help
Hello Angela! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
You say to sk sleeve St’s and 2 marked St’s, what sleeve St’s this is the 1st time you refer to them, Help! I’m lost. Can you explain what you mean, I’m just having a senior moment maybe?.
Third time saying this but I can’t even see the sweater in this picture. You need different pictures that actually show the item.
New pictures have been added, thanks for your patience! – Nicola, Editor
Is there a better picture?
New pictures have been added, thanks for your patience! – Nicola, Editor
I agree. Can’t find other views, at least on phone.
Hello there! The mobile version of our site is currently putting the other images all the way down at the bottom of the page. Sorry about that! – Nicola, Editor
The picture is too far away. ☹
Hi Cathy! You can find additional photos on the right hand side of the screen including some close-up photos of the stitches and of the model. Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
