Whew! After ripping out the body twice and the sleeves once each, this sweater is finally finished. I now know that vertical bust darts are usually not the way to go. This sweater didn’t actually need any! My sister will have 2” of positive ease in it, and it should look lovely. I tried it on myself. On me, it’s got 2” of negative ease (cursed baby weight), and it was quite comfortable…if a look I would not sport!
