The waist shaping on this could be slightly higher, I think. Which is a little strange since I have a very long torso.

The increase and decrease shaping is written out unlike anything I have previously come across on a knitting pattern, but it works.

Good new is, the yarn shrunk up almost exactly as expected. Interestingly, it only shrink in width, not in length.

My swatch shrunk up a bit, so I am hoping the whole sweater shrinks in a similar manner or my finished sweater is going to be too big.
