The piece knitted up really quickly and is very flattering, comfortable and warm. I found the pattern confusing in places, in particular where working in the established pattern across different sections with repeats were referenced in the short row portion. There were a couple of other areas that could be improved in order to make the instructions more clear and easier to follow, but I know the pattern is new and some kinks need working out. Overall, the piece is beautiful and I would recommend trying it out - just make sure you pay attention.
