Finished the short sleeved fair isle sweater from the Vogue 2009 Holiday issue.
Notes on this sweater: two rounds of seed stitch is not adequate. Two rounds with a long-tail cast on makes all of the cuffs really flippy. I added a round or two in places. On the neck, when I added a round or two, I continued the raglan decreases every other row. Chart 2 is incorrect. Columns 16 and 28 on row 14 show stitches in light blue. It should be light blue on row 12 instead of row 14. Row fourteen stitches in columns 16 and 28 should be dark blue to complete the cross motif.
A sentimental note on this sweater. I purchased the yarn and the pattern with a gift certificate from my husband while we were on my birthday trip to Fort Smith, AR. The green I purchased for the sweater appeared almost brown when I used it. I needed something closer to a lime green. Just then, I remembered a scrap ball of lime green I had from a friend who passed away in 2008. The tiny ball of green yarn worked perfectly!
