I just finished Eiffel and I absolutely love it. Even though the stiffness of the hemp gave me a slight knitting injury, I love it anyway.
Here are some pics before blocking (excuse the pre-color appt hair and purple bra - LOL): I figured I had to try it on before I blocked it just to see how it fit:
And here's where it is now - wet and on a towel. I decided not to bother pinning it to the measurements as it fits fine as is - I'm really just washing it to soften it up and get a better drape from it. It did bleed a little when I washed it, sort of a pinkish tone was in the water (it's dark chocolate brown, so I guess that makes some sense.) 
I'm on the fence about putting ribbons on it on the chest and biceps - I think I'm not really a ribbon "type" at this stage in my life - so I'm thinking not. Any thoughts?
Bonus for those of you who made it this far - I have one skein of the hemp yarn left, still packaged and unwound. The first person to email me to claim it gets it for just whatever it costs me to ship it to you.
Hope everyone's having a great weekend! I'll have more pics once it dries too!
Looks great! I'd ixnay the bows, but that's just me. As me on another day and I'd say hell yes to the bows. Go figure.
I'd take the hemp if no one else wants it :)

Your sweater looks amazing!

Your Eiffel looks great! I am thinking about redoing mine in a different color with the longer sleeves, especially after seeing yours! Yeah, I wouldn't bother with the ribbons either! You're lookin' good!

It looks great! If I were to make it for me, I would absolutely NOT put the ribbons on the arms. No, no, no. But I might try it out on the body and see what I think. You can always pull it out, if it looks silly...

Too Cute!! YOu were fast! I wouldn't do the ribbon myself...I'm not a really ribbony girl though!

hi Robin,
Eiffel looks awesome! I'd leave off the ribbon! Either way it'll be great!

Looks great! You have so many FO's! I'm so jealous.

Very pretty! And wow, you are such a fast knitter! I think you turn out about 5 FO's in the time it takes me to do one!!

DOH! I missed out on the hemp!
Beautiful Eiffel and the color looks great on you -- I love hemp after it's been washed and dried. The dryer softens it up so much.

Looks beautiful! I'm amazed by how great you are at getting sweaters to fit you well.

I'm Back! I love the sweater, I think the ribbons wold make it romantic! Can you try them with & then take them out later?

The bra cracks me up. Sorry to hear that the hemp hurt. I remember cotton making my hands ache.
The ribbon -- I like the way it defines the jump from lace to the bodice, but not so much on the arms. Try it, at least. You might really like it.
That was fast!

It's beautiful! I only put the chest ribbon on mine, but tied it in the back, being that I felt a little old for bows :o)

It's lovely! Did the hemp soften up after the wash?
Posted by: Marina | February 26, 2007 at 09:09 AM
Perfect!
BTW ~ did realize your birthday had come and gone. So Happy Belated Birthday!

I've got this one in my planned projects and got the yarn a couple of weeks ago. Yours looks great. I thinks it's more sporty without the ribbon.
Posted by: Hannah | February 26, 2007 at 10:24 PM
wow it looks great!
Posted by: Bobbi | February 27, 2007 at 09:17 AM
Awesome awesome awesome! I really love it. The colour is amazing!
About the ribbon: On mine, I found the arm ones to be a little much. The bustline one was good for keeping the top in place.
The good thing about the ribbon is you can very easily keep it or nix it.
Posted by: CanarySanctuary | February 27, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Wow! That color is fabulous. Love it. I think I'd skip the ribbons ... although I'm not really a ribbons kindof girl.

Love the eiffel. Suits you very well.
What I want to know is: did the hemp get softer after washing? I have only made a necklace with hemp and it was pretty rough. Don't fancy THAT much exfoliation of the upper body,for the sake of (knitting) art! lol.
