Cumulus Blouse



This sweater was kindof a saga in which the only plot point of any significance is that not all my yarn was the exact same lavender so you can see joins of a darker color on the sleeves and near the bottom of the body. Hoping that's not too noticeable to anyone other than myself!

Pattern
Cumulus Blouse, PetiteKnit

Yarn
GarnStudio, Drops, Kid Silk
Light Lavender
Used 11 Skeins

Size/Gauge
Knit Size S (Finished larger than given for Small)
Used recommended needle size, 3 strands yarn.

I was expecting to hold two strands together (seemed to be a common thing for this yarn/pattern on ravelry) but couldn't get gauge without the fabric just looking so weak and thin and gappy, so I held 3 strands together. This made the fabric a bit thicker and heavier and slightly over gauge. i decided I'd rather have a slightly larger and warmer sweater and just get the show on the road instead of fighting for exact gauge or bemoaning the thicker fabric which is honestly more practical for my life anyway.
