Ginny
My Grandma Ginny taught me to knit when I was 9 years old. She is the reason I get to do what I love every single day. Her loss in 2018 was great, but the sorrow can’t stand up to the 35 years of joy she brought to my life and the gift of craft that she so generously shared with me. This sweater was designed in her memory, and I know she would have worn it proudly.

1025 (1125, 1220, 1341, 1440)(1574, 1687, 1829, 1921) m
Due to the nature of the airy, woolen spun yarn used in this pattern, I noticed that testers using a worsted spun yarn ended up needing more yardage. If you choose to substitute a worsted spun yarn, you may need more yarn to finish your sweater. I recommend purchasing at least 1 extra skein.
