08-13-2015: I am done with the sweater up to the armpits. Almost done with the first sleeve.

Done. This sweater came out too tight in the waist and sleeves-even though I added a little extra to the sleeves. The bust fits great. My gauge was correct. My sizing was correct. I made the largest size of the pattern. The pattern is designed for too much negative ease for my fit comfort. I can wear it, but I don’t like it on. It feels too tight even though it’s not “tight”. It does not fit like the pattern photo.
:( I’m sad.
I guess I will give it to my daughter. It is a beautiful sweater pattern otherwise.
