This sweater knit up a lot faster than I expected. I did 21 repeats of the lace pattern for the body and 15 for the sleeves. It took right at 7 skeins for this sweater. I had a small bit of yarn left from the last skein I used on the body and had to use some of that to cast off my sleeves because I ran out right at the end and didn’t want to grab a whole new skein. This was my first time using the Bernat Cashmere Blend yarn and will most likely use it again. It feels really nice.
This is a great pattern and a great sweater, although I did get myself messed up in the lace a few times because I would get too interested in what I was watching on TV and not pay attention to what I was doing. But I managed to fix my mistakes easily and moved on. The end result is worth it.

It looks lovely! I’m glad to see this Bernat yarn knit up. I was curious as to how it’d look. Very inspirational

Thank you! The Bernat cashmere blend is a pretty nice yarn. It was great to knit with and the knitted fabric feels really soft. I’ll definitely be using it again!
