My boatneck bluebell finally finished! :)
After an almost 2 month hiatus due to Christmas knitting and other projects, I finished my Boatneck Bluebell this weekend! I am really happy with how it turned out! I changed to hem of the sweater at the hips to a k2p2 rib as Holly did, rather than use the purl rows, because I think it gives a nice finish to the sweater with less bulk. I also knit two sets of the purl stripes before and after each set of ribbing on the body and sleeves rather than three. I really like the Cascade Heathers, especially in this color. I am very pleased with this sweater! My next Fitted Knits will be the Alexandra Ballerina sweater, knit in Rowan soft tweed. I am looking forward to starting it! :) 
I like your modifications. Which color is more accurate - the lighter or the darker?
