April 2009
Another chunky top-down project, although somehow I managed to make this one much too big around the hips, so it doesn't get too much wear.
It's always a tough call choosing what size to go for when your top-half and your bottom half are different sizes. These days I tend to go for the smaller size and add short row shaping around the bust if needs be because I think it gives a much more flattering fit.
I've urged this pattern on non-knitting friends as an excellent starter sweater - to no avail as yet, but I shall persevere...
