This has got to be the quickest FULL sweater I've ever knitted. It really flew by on 6mm needles.
I'm really pleased with how it's come out, and although I say so myself, I think I've done a pretty good job of setting in the sleeves :) So well done to me!
I followed the pattern almost to the letter, the only mods being that of shortening the body by approx 10-15cm though, as a model figure I does not have... and did a couple more decreases for the armhole shaping so that the sleeves would not droop. Ah, and of course, there's a mistake in the chart, where it says PURL it actually means KNIT! Watch out...
However, this will probably be the last of bulky knits for a while, whilst flattering with its peplum, it does my pear shaped form no favours being rather chunky. So it's back on DK and aran weight knits for a while!
Disclaimer: I've not totally lost my marbles when taking these pictures, I was trying to emulate the pose of the model, but to no avail! ;)
