Here is the Mazar pullover, from the
Summer 2020 issue of Cast On magazine.
It just came out and I got the sweater back today, so I figured I'd give you guys a
little close-up view of the sweater. 
This beautiful yarn is Nettle Soft DK,
by Ancient Arts Fibre company.
They hand-dye it. This is the Cave Art color.
This sweater begins with these
shoulder tabs here. The shoulder tabs are
knit from the neck out and then held,
the back stitches are picked up.
There are some short rows here for the
neck and shoulder shaping—
on both sides. There are some cast on
stitches in between them for the neck.
Then you do the same thing
on the fronts, and then the yoke is joined—
the front, you pick up
these held stitches, work along the back.
All the way across the back.
Then you pick up the other side, then the front.
and you work the sleeves at the same
time as the front in the back.
There are these increases here for the sleeve cap and then down here
there are increases for the sleeve cap and the body for the armhole—
well what would be an armhole if there was a hole.
Then under here, when you get to the underarm the sleeve stitches are put onto the stitch holder
and held while the body is then worked
in the round from the top down.
Sorry, I keep getting it in the shade.
There is waist shaping here, on the sides,
to make a more
flattering fit.
There is ribbing along the edges on the
bottom. The sleeve cuff matches—
lines up with the ribbing that's worked all the way down the sleeve.
It lines up with the neckline too.
It goes all the way around.
It is a great sweater to knit. 
I really enjoyed it.
I like that all the interesting and complex—
it's not really complex but 
you have to pay attention a little bit—
all that stuff happens at the beginning of
the sweater.
Then it gets easy as you do the sleeves and the body.
It just becomes a lot more mindless.
You can do it in front of the TV, or I like 
to read while I knit stockinette stitch.
But, it's a great sweater, and I think it really can highlight
a beautiful yarn—a beautiful hand dyed yarn, or whatever yarn that you think
you really want to see the colors. 
Or a solid color would look great too.
A nice everyday kind of t-shirt.
So this is the Mazar (M. A. Z. A. R.) pullover,
