I used 3.75mm needles. The pattern is called Go Vertical by Classic Elite, but I re-calculated the whole pattern, due to achieving a different tension with my yarn to that called for in the pattern, and me being a different shape and proportion to any of the pattern sizes.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I am very pleased with how it has come out. The yarn was pleasant to knit with and feels nice and soft once knitted up. The only problem I had with it was a slight tendency for the yarn to un-spin while I was trying to sew the seams. I am pleased with the fit, and it has been a good opportunity to test drive the set-in sleeve calculations that we have been learning in City and Guilds class. After all the worrying about whether I would have enough yarn, in the end I only used about 8 1\/2 balls, so I have one full ball left over and once partial ball. I have been wearing the top all today and it is very comfy so far!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finished the Teal Top on Saturday but it has taken until today before the weather has been decent enough for a photograph.
