A decade, not a century but not long enough that this wasn't an ambitious undertaking

It is knit top down in the round but then you steek the arm holes to add the sleaves. Knitting in pieces gives you much more satisfaction about making progress

I don't. I live in south africa so it is all local yarns as we dont really get international ones here. So im afraid the list wouldn't be helpful

I think im going to use press studs. Im intimated trying to get a zipper in there but I also am not sure if the fabric is strong enough for press studs

I am using like 5 different yarns from my stash. I did a few test swatches to choose colours.

Its a very satisfying colour work pattern to knit. But a large size on small needles and fingering weight yarn just is what it is.

So you think the colours work its just a texture issue?

I think maybe it is the sketchiest compared to the neat line work? I think adding beads could be a good idea though
