Notes

Final (post wet-blocking) garment measurements:
Width at underarms: 18 1/4 inches
Hips: 22 inches

My measurements
Bust: 37.5 inches
Waist: 32 inches
Hips: 41 inches

Fairly easy, as far as Lopi sweaters go. Most difficult part is managing the tension/gauge in the very long floats of a few of the rows in the colour section.

A quick, fun knit and beautiful, and very wearable, finished sweater!

Modifications:
-added a few short-rows to back of neck
