Another NaKniSweMo came and went, and, again, I was a little late. I actually finished the knitting on the very last day of the month, but it took several days and a cross-country plane ride for this sweater to dry after blocking. I LOVE how this sweater turned out. It fits SO WELL and the fabric isn't took thick or warm to wear. I only made a couple of modifications to the pattern as I was knitting. I made the torso three or four inches longer than the pattern called for and I had to make each sleeve several inches longer after the increases. The smaller sizes are definitely designed for short people with short arms. Other than that, the fit is great!
I love the cable panel on the chest even though it is right in the middle of my boobs. It does help make the sweater more form fitting. I messed up the seaming a little bit on the back of one of the shoulder joins, but blocking helped a lot to straigten that out. I really enjoyed knitting this sweater, and I hope I don't wait as long to start my next one!

This sweater is so flattering. I love the cable in front. You look very trim. All that yoga does you good.
