I actually finished this sweater a couple of weeks ago but haven't had the time to post until now. I'm really pleased with how it came out. Since I used 100% wool the sweater is quite warm but fall is kicking in here so I've gotten some wear time in. Firstly, as others have commented, the instructions for the sweater give an armhole measurement which is far too short. I made the 34" bust size which suggests a measurement of 6 - 1/2" but I knit to a length of 8". Maybe I just have a long bust to shoulder measurment? Otherwise I followed the pattern as usual. I bought a cute little lacy camisole at Penny's to wear under it as the neckline was a bit low for me. I honestly have to say this is one of the cuter and more wearable sweater's I've made. No one believes I made it myself. (Or maybe they just doubt my abilities?)

I used 'Freedom Spirit' 100% wool by Twilleys of Stamford in Shade 512. I love the wool too, when I saw it I just had to buy it!
