I ended up not liking this sweater at all. I don’t think the style looks particularly good on me, the wide collar at the back sits weird, and there is some weird poofy-ness happening at the front of both sleeves. Plus, thanks to the yarn, the sleeves grew to an awkward length during blocking. If I liked anything about this piece, I could easily fix the sleeve length, but I don’t.

This sweater also won’t stay on my shoulders. While it looks okay when adjusted for pictures, the last photo shows what it looks like after carrying my tripod and camera down a single flight of stairs.
