Lady marmalade sweater

pattern	Adapted from Rowan's Red Frill Sweater

needles	4.00mm circular (80cm)

A great stashbuster project. Mods: First of all, I adapted the pattern to knit the body in the round (attempted the same with the sleeves, but failed miserably, so the sleeves are knitted flat). I shortened the body (yep, what's new?!). I recalculated the sleeves to obtain a narrower fit, also added a second colour to give it a little more interest in the cuff area. I changed the neckline to a simple 2x2 rib instead of the style called for in the pattern (I forget what that was!).
