I had to seriously lengthen the waist, because I may be the longest-waisted human in the world, but that’s the main modification I made other than using a different yarn for the underside of the hem, for a surprise flash of color. I had zero problems with the pattern, which was clear and easy to understand.

This yarn is amazing -- and after wearing it nearly non-stop for a month, it still looks brand new. It’s sumptuous, and the cashmere gives it just the slightest, slightest halo but the tight spin makes me think the yarn will be hard-wearing. It’s beautiful to work with, and the stitches have gorgeous definition. I see why everyone raves about it, so I add my voice to the choir. And on top of that, Sarah is just great, I’m happy to buy from her. I just wish this yarn were more readily available…
