jaded root

pattern: rusted
root from zephyr style
yarn: brown sheep cotton fleece
color: oriental jade
needles: addi turbo, US 4 for the body. US 3 (or 2.5?) for the ribbing.
status: cast on 8-15, finished 8-26. still need to block out the neckline to allow the sleeves to be puffy.
details: started by knitting the extra small, but used the increases for the small to get the top big enough to meet at the underarms. so, the size is a small minus 4 sts, which should give me a good amount of negative ease (1.5"). i added increases for the hips after an inch or two of plain knitting at the waist.
