Spectacular! I think I’m just going to hang out here at your place for a while - I think you and I are shaped about the same and you make exactly what I wish I could dream up! Really - this one is just a stunner and looks fabulous on you. Your different color hems and turning round turned me on and have been floating around in my head, so now I’m trying to decide what color to use for the hem when I knit up my next sweater!

Interesting sleeve cap discussion - they are indeed mysterious and getting that inevitable ease in always gets me - I end up somehow getting the fullness in the front for one sleeve, the back for the other.

What an amazingly fine piece of work! It fits great, and the detail is fabulous. I can’t wait to see what you do with houndstooth!

That’s beautiful! I particularly like the slipped stitch lines on sleeves and back–I think they make it look… I don’t know not just finished, but polished, somehow?

I am forever having to rip out and redo sleeve caps because I just can’t get them sewn in properly. I have therefore been experimenting more and more with sleeves and body in one piece, and particularly with non-raglan sleeve caps. It’s… interesting.

Pleased to meet’cha Slim

If possible, it’s even better than I thought it would be. This is an excellent design Ruth - very professional. I’m a bit at a loss for words, I just think all the elements complement each other perfectly - and the line of chokecherry at the v-neck is the kicker!
