Gathered Pullover
It's done! And just in time for summer. LOL! Well, maybe I'll win the lotto and we can go to Australia or New Zealand just so I can have an excuse to wear this!
Yes, I am excited. I put it on before it was dry and it smells so much like wet dog. I sprayed it down with some water then steamed it and laid it to dry (should be done in a little bit). That fixed the excessive rolling of the hem.
Other than adding length to the hem and doing the sleeves as prescribed in the Knitting from the Top book, I made no changes to the pattern. The cable fits just under the bust line where I wanted it (the pattern calls for it to be at least an inch higher, but I'm not built that way ;). One more mod: the neckline is knit in the round and not back and forth then seamed.
The yarn is Elsbeth Lavold Classic Al and very soft. I have to wear something under this anyway so the wool content isn't that big of a deal. It's so soft!

Thank you! I never thought I'd be wishing for cooler weather, but I am.
Cute!!!!
It's always that way: When you get a new sweater it's warm and when you get a new sundress/tank whatever it's always cold. It's the law of the universe I think. HeeHee.
