    It is going to be gorgeous 🎉, I think that partly due to your colour choice! The Granada, is my fav😊😉

    I love the color pattern for your Albina sweater. Do you have notes on the color changes you made?

      I don’t remember I’ll check but what ever amount of rows the pattern says double that number, stop stripes at least 2 rows before neckshaping and start sleeve stripes after the first decrease make the space from the hem to beginning of stripes wider and do the same on the cuffs

    I worry that the patterns in that book aren’t size-inclusive. The models are very tiny, so probably the sweaters are too. They don’t seem to be made with consideration for larger bodies, so I won’t take a risk on them.

      Hillary, The sweater I’m knitting is 34.5-66.5 with a recommended ease of 0-2 inches I can check all the patterns if you would like and my hope is that some preview and test knitters sweaters will give more examples of various body sizes 🖤

    Were you paid or something to promote this book? Or was that part of why you get to knit that sweater early?

    • @westmaven

      Sara good question I’m not being paid but I was asked if I was interested in sharing about the book and asked if I wanted to knit a design from the book, I will be honest I would review it either way and o genuinely am excited to get a copy when it’s available 🖤

      @@westmaven That makes sense, but just to let you know (because I genuinely believe it was an honest mistake) not disclosing any relationship with the brand, including just getting to knit a pattern from it early in exchange for mentioning it at all, is illegal. The FTC has some resources specifically to learn about their influencer policies if you just google it, and I know the youtuber JenLuv has a few videos on the topic that are really helpful (though she's in the makeup space)

      I added “paid promotion” it’s now visible on the video thanks for the message 🖤 I always purchased publications and on my own reviewed them so I didn't know this thanks for bringing it to my attention.
