FO - Flax Sweater

This is my second sweater and the first top down.
Pattern is Flax from Tin Can Knits.(https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flax-worsted)
I used their app and it worked out well. This one is worsted weight and I have already purchaseyarn to make another in red for the Christmas season.
The yarn is Cascade yarns Superwash 220, the color code is 1910. It’s a teal that looks more on the green side in the picture.
The pattern has a garter strip going down the sleeve and I opted not to continue that feature when I picked up the stitches for the sleeves. I wanted to knit the sleeves TAAT (two at a time) on magic loop and did not want the added stress of remembering to work the garter feature. Getting the sleeves setup correctly was a challenge but I found videos on YouTube to help with that. I loved not having a second sleeve to finish and they are both the same length. I included a picture showing the TAAT setup.

Beautifully knit! This has become a classic sweater that looks fabulous over Tin Can Knits wide variety of sizes. I’ve knit my share but love your version and color. Clever trick for TAAT sleeves. Thank you for the photos.

Thank you.
I actually knit a toddler size in acrylic first to learn the techniques before casting on my nice wool.
