I did make a couple of modifications. I didn’t want a lot of extra fabric to the front, so that it would be more flattering and work better with the yarn. I decreased every other row on the front side next to the lace panels, instead of every fourth row (or whatever the pattern calls for).

The other issue I had, was that the back side of the neck was too large and gaping open. It would hardly stay on my shoulders. I ended up picking up some stitches around the back side of the neck, and doing several rows of garter stitching, decreasing on each row to suck the neck in. (see the last photo).

My only other comment is that I wouldn’t recommend this yarn for this project. It just doesn’t hold it’s shape well enough.
