the oak pullover by quince and co

Monday, November 05, 2018

I started Oak back in July and buzzed right through it, all except for seaming in that cute little pocket. And finally a couple of weeks ago I seamed in the pocket. And yesterday, I wore Oak!

This is the first sweater I made out of Plain & Simple, and it won't be the last. In fact, I would like another Oak maybe in a darker color. It's a great knit and an even better wear.

I must admit, however, I do have a few things I would do differently if I would ever make this again. Things that I would tailor to my body type.

The first is the length. I guess I must be a little longer waisted then the model. So... if I made this again I would add a couple of inches to the body. Don't know why I didn't check that as I went... I usually do.

The second thing I would do would be to add more length from the underarm to the shoulder. I would prefer it to be a bit roomier through the arm since this is a dropped shoulder.
The only modification I did make was to add a couple of inches to the length of the arms.
