NOTES
A nice, simple sweater that uses the contiguous method to shape the shoulders for a top-down seamless sweater.
National knit a sweater month stats
Total # of stitches: 56,490
Daily stitch goal: 2,200
Total # of knitting days: 18
MODIFICATIONS
Used two strands of lace weight yarn to approximate fingering weight yarn
Used a gauge comparison calculator to figure out how to size up based off of my gauge versus the pattern’s gauge
Cast on for a size 4; however, stopped increases when I reached the final stitch count for size 1. This allowed me to accommodate my broad but narrow shoulders, while ensuring that the contiguous shoulder and armscye (the shape / outline of the armhole) hit my body in the right place. It was important to me that the placement mimic the placement of a set-in sleeve.

Final Thoughts
I found it a bit of a pain to hold two of the same weight of yarn together for this pattern. Ensuring that I did not only catch one yarn instead of two proved to be a hassle. The end result, though, *is* extremely squishy.
I finished knitting this sweater in 18 days in November 2022, and I completed my first NaKniSweMo challenge successfully.
