I’ve finally finished my Seabreeze Sweater and taken photos!! It’s a bit warm to wear just yet but I’m really pleased with the way it turned out. It’s a little more close fitting than I’m used to but very comfortable. I’ve been wearing shapeless boxy tops for too long I think.
The yarn is soooo nice to work with. I used Apple Laine's Apple Pie yarn.
With a 2mm circular needle, I cast on 240 sts, joined and placed markers at the raglan increase points. 80 / 3 / 34 / 3 / 80 / 3 / 34 / 3 Knit in 2 x 2 ribbing, increasing 8 sts. every 2nd round, until armhole depth is reached (10” in my case).
Then divide for body and sleeves. Body = 328 sts. Sleeves = 130 sts.
I'll see if I can decipher the rest of my notes later.

Very Beautiful, I love the colors and the design!! Great job!
I love the shape of the collar and sleeves. I've been guilty of wearing shapeless tops that are too large. It does feel weird to wear something that actually fits. You did a beautiful job on this sweater. I wish I had your talent for making wearable art. My talents are with paper and I'm not inclined to make a paper dress! LOL
Cheers to a creative 2009.
