Notes	Fabric: Merino wool interlock from Myllymuksut in dark olive. Soft, warm, very stretchy, and opaque. Fit: Absolutely spot on. This was my first Lekala pattern, and it was amazing for the first time not having to do a narrow shoulder adjustment, a full upper arm adjustment, and grade between sizes - just cut and sew. Mods: I expected the pattern to include all three sleeve length variations, but it only included long sleeves - I measured and cut mine to be elbow-length. For the neckline, I folded the fabric over by 1.5 cm instead of the 1 cm stated in the instructions. I shortened the bodice by 2.5 cm. I sewed everything using a standard sewing machine and a narrow zig-zag stitch, and I left all the edges raw on the inside of the garment as knit fabrics rarely unravel.
