Nordic Tunic

I found SWS on sale at $2.77 a skein and wanted to knit this Nordic Tunic from Vogue Knitting Fall 2008 (one of my all-time favorite issues), which was designed with the same yarn.

GRIPES:

• As usual, Vogue Knitting has TONNES of errors. Remember to read the errata before starting!
• Didn’t like the yarn. It is like roving and splits like crazy!
• Didn’t like the yoke construction. I had no idea how to measure the sweater and wondering whether I should add/decrease any length to the sleeves and body. It was also really heavy, which made the tension for colorwork a little bit challenging to be consistent.
• However, I did like the minimal number of edges to sew!

MODIFICATIONS:

• Lengthened the body a bit
• For neck portion, did a k1p1 twisted rib

Finally finished and it fits perfectly!   

It's a bit too hot to wear it now but packed away in a safe place for next year!
