Finished! I loved every minute of this project. The instructions are clear, and the outcome is terrific. I went with a contrasting color for the pocket lining and also did one row at the very bottom of the sweater in the contrasting color. It gives it a little pop, which I like.

I followed the instructions all the way to the pocket, and then did the increases every 10 rows instead of every 6. Other than this, I did not make any mods.

The drape of this yarn is great and it has just enough weight to it that the curl doesn’t seem to be too much, but just enough.

For my second sweater ever, I’m very pleased and can’t wait to make another pattern from Heidi Kirrmaier. :-)

Started this pattern, and so far I’m loving it. Have made it to the end of the yoke and will now move to sleeves and body.

The yarn is also great! Very soft, holds the stitches nicely and the color is fabulous.
