My Simple Knitted Bodice finally dried over the weekend, and Justin and I went to the park to take pictures of it with the serpent. This sweater turned out a bit long thanks to the blocking, but I really happy with the way it fits. It's really comfy and warm despite it being sort sleeved. The neckline was a little weird, but blocking took care of that also I think.
I LOVE THE COLOR!!! I was kind of afraid when I bought this yarn, because this is definitely not one of my normal colors to wear, but I'm glad I choose it. It's spring-ey and I love how it's heathered. That gives the color a little bit of depth and texture. I'm glad I finally got a chance to knit a Stephanie Japel pattern. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while, and I really liked the top-down construction and how I could try this on as I went.
