The shape looks odd in this picture, but the fit is perfect. The neckline lays exactly where I want it to. Unfortunately, any notes I wrote on upsizing the pattern from child to adult, have been lost in the move. I might come across them one day - and I will share.
And I'm very glad to have this yarn out of my stash. It was Debbie Bliss Pure Silk - while it feels lovely, it's so unevenly spun, it's a nightmare. It's suppose to be DK - but in some spots it's fingering, other it's chunky...I can see the slubs from here! It's a good thing I got it on sale, because it's definitely not worth the price. But I can live with it - it just gives the cardigan a bit of a rustic feel. I have five skeins of black still - I'm thinking they would make a nice simple camisole... or maybe a shawl. But after that, I'll never knit with it again.
Anyway, I'll share this again after she's had a good long soak in some dark blue dye and a nice stretch on the blocking board!

I'm looking forward to seeing its new colour and what it looks like when it's on a person too.
Congrats on the finish.
That thick-thin thing is how I feel about Noro sock. The colors are compelling, but knitting with it is a nightmare.
It's really cute! Can't wait to see it after it's dyed and blocked...perhaps you'll model it???
Pretty! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
