Notes

Perfect sweater for wearing over dresses with tights. I love the bell sleeves, especially cuffed. I made a size or two bigger than I probably needed because other ravelers mentioned it not being big enough to wrap around. It grew quite a bit after blocking, but I am extremely happy with the finished result.

I only picked up the amount of stitches called for in the smallest size, 61 I think, (even though I made a bigger sweater all together) because I didn’t want the sleeve to be to huge. The pattern is really easy, well laid out and the stitch pattern/cables are really easy to memorize. Some one commented that the seed stitch inside of the cables really set it apart and put it over the top.

I finished this sweater in Los Angeles while I was competing on a cooking show that will air this summer. I probably wont make it to the final cut but I sure impressed everyone with this sweater!
