Words have been a bit thin on the ground for me lately. Let’s start with a few.

Heavily modified. Obviously, I went for a pullover instead of a cardigan. I went with the XS cast on, increased enough to accomodate my bust, and then after I joined the body, decreased rapidly. At the stockinette portion, you’re directed to increase to 160 stitches… I only increased to 125. There is otherwise no shaping included in my version… but I think it fits me very well. More vest-like, exactly what I wanted. The yarn is handpaintedyarn.com handspun handdyed bulky yarn in polar grey. I love the undertones of green and blue throughout the yarn, and the thick and thin nature of the yarn makes it that much more interesting, I think.

All in all, something that I think is successful.
