Thanks for your replies 😊
This particular yarn is one of those thick/thin yarns with parts tightly spun/twisted and other where it is not, at all.
But I have others incl mohair & angora, etc blends.
Fabric shaver may go on the xmas list!

So far so good- got 10 rows of rib done last night
The tiny circs still feel a bit clumsy but I'm settling back into it. Norwegian knits and sort of Russian purls.
Row 1: "std" R-purl, yarn held in front.
Row2+: yarn behind, work through back loop & pull yarn through R style

🧶 knit on hold
So this stalled cos I was pretty snotty through Oct. I did split for the armholes but struggling with the slog of the body. Hence my super chunky instant knit!
On returing, I've decided to switch direction so its mostly knit sts now.
But will be working more on other projects

Thanks! I have already noticed how unevenly tisted it is and sections that would likely pull apart with a tug. 🫣
Gotta say, generally, not liking working with it. Hey ho, live and learn.

This was a quick knit for me.
Had the body done in a week, sleeve one in about a week. Then faffed with sleeve two forever!
Amazed how well the haze held up to being ripped & reknit 3times 👍
Really not a fan of seamless knits. Def going to steek sleeves in future or knit flat & seam in

Still not blocked, but ends all sewn in and worn 2 or 3 times already.
Very happy with it. Such a simple pattern with no shaping other than the raglan increases in the yoke.
Will keep it as a reference / block pattern I could mod with colourwork, cables, lace etc.

Got the sleeves bound off last night. It's snuggly but not bulky 🥰 better pics later maybe.
2 mods to pattern:
Icord cast on at neckline rather than applied icord
Dec row at cuffs (k1, k2t) before binding off cos I have narrow wrists
Bind off at hem feels tight, so may rework that, tbd

And for the 3rd time, I'm back up to 40rows on sleeve 2.
Yep.. yesterday i spotted I'd dropped a stitch wayyy back on row6 😤
Third time's a charm, though. Right?!
It better be cos I wanna do other projects!
