Bloomsbury Sweater

Today I'd like to talk about the Bloomsbury by Svetlana Volkova.  I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it, and knew I would have to make it.  When I first saw it, I was not quite at the level I wanted to be in order to feel comfortable giving this a go.  I added it to my Ravelry queue, and waited until I gained some more experience.  Some months later while browsing my local yarn store, I saw some Malabrigo Rios, in the Paris Night colorway, that I knew I had to have.  I grabbed enough for a sweater, and waited until I found the right pattern.   I decided I wanted to make this sweater with it, but my problem was it was a slightly lighter weight yarn than what the pattern called for.  After gauge swatching, and some math,  I figured out I could use the Rios.  I had use the pattern specifications for the XXL size, and it was hopefully going to come out the size I was wanting it to be.
