I love a rant! I just finished Ysolda's wee Envelope. Very cute pattern and it's the third time I've knit it. Oddly, the first time was January 2015, and the second January 2018.
Maybe it's my January baby jumper/ I remembered that the second time I had some trouble at the beginning of the yoke, but I was knitting on the way back from a beer festival, so I thought that might be the issue. it's not. there are two parts of the instruction that don't make a lot of sense. There is a tutorial on Ysolda's website, and when I looked at that both the start and end of the yoke made sense, but I can't understand why the pattern wasn't written to include all the information needed to successfully knit this sweet jumper. And look how sweet it is.
Despite my earlier rant, this is such a cute little jumper, and I think, the only thing (other than the ubiquitous Baby Surprise) that I have knit this often. I'm sure I will be making it again. In fact, I have another friend who is having a baby and I am deciding between one of these and another Baby Surprise. Delightful decisions.
