This was a lot of fun to knit. I adjusted the number of increases to jive with my gauge. I love that about top-down sweaters. I stuck more or less to the pattern. I did make the cowl smaller than the pattern called for, and I ripped out the sleeves to make them a bit snugger. I also ribbed the bottom and the cuffs, and made the sleeves full length. I was kind of concerned that the yarn didn’t seem to have great drape, but blocking took care of that, and the cowl falls beautifully. I am THRILLED with the results, and I’m looking forward to sweater weather. :)

ETA These pictures are not much good, but really, the sweater is lovely. Great pattern!
