Sep.12 Took some pictures on me. Like the fit, but give up on getting the color right…

The pictures on the mannequin are much better :)
The color is a lot closer to the real one.
Also, the button is removable, so today I used a brooch.
I still will try to take some decent pictures of me wearing it since I like it so much.

The pictures on me are absolutely horrendous, lack of day light did not allow for the proper color or stitch definition to show, but I had to share my love for this pattern!
It is absolutely wonderful and fun, very thorough and smart, interesting and innovative! Yes, it challenging, full of short rows and has an unusual construction, but not hard at all.

I made a couple of changes:

• added cuffs to the sleeves; it was intentional; from the very beginning I knew I had to have cuffs on this sweater;
• added waist shaping; this change was unintentional; I didn’t get the same drape in the armhole area, in fact my sleeves turned out pretty snug, so I decided for a more fitted shape in the body.

Also, added a vintage button to the collar.

I will take better pictures soon and add more notes on the changes and the yarn used.
In the mean time, get yourself this pattern and knit a Pipit! Satisfaction guaranteed :)

Thank you, Heidi, for such a beautiful pattern!
