I had some technical difficulties during the photo session. Namely, one fuzzy, shedding, toe-licker, named Stash. She insisted upon licking the camera, which moved it, while I was trying to take pictures. So I’m trying out a new venue. The pictures are sort of gray, sadly.
This is Harriet from A Fine Fleece. I knit a larger size, because my spi was less than called for in the pattern. I also put in some very slight waist shaping, but after viewing the pictures, I think more aggressive waist shaping would have been fine.
I also reduced the width of the sleeves because the sweaters all have huge sleeves (at least for me).
Overall, I like the sweater. The buttons are adorable (from Artbeads) and have a lovely brass color. I wish that I would have made the sweater slimmer or added more waist shaping, but I can live with the way it is.
The edging is very simple and perfectly pretty. I like it well enough that I may just use the edging for another project.
I love the arm detail on this sweater! Very nice.
Just lovely.
Nice job. Have you considered taking a tuck in at the waist? I know some people that will actually sew a new seam to add shaping, I’ve just never done it.
Really pretty sweater!
