Pattern
Materials
Whistlebare Cheviot Marsh 4 ply, colour Longitude (pale blue) (Took 3.2 skeins).
6 mm Tunisian crochet hook with cable.
Notes
Great to find a Tunisian crochet pattern for a really wearable jumper - though there do seem to be more around than there used to be.

Finished yoke section. Handily, also finished the first ball of wool with about 20 cm to spare. Couldn't have planned it better if I'd tried!

Love the texture in this wool.
Now that I've finished it and tried it on, I realise that the sleeves are a bit short, but I should be able to lengthen them. I'll probably think about the best way to do this for a bit before I go ahead.

Have lengthened the arms with about 6 rows of front post treble ribbing using 3mm crochet hook. Looks fine and pulls the bottom of the sleeves in a bit and I find it more comfortable now.

Now blocked and worn for the first time. Very comfortable and warm. Was worth putting the rib on the sleeves as it did feel cosier on a very cold day.
