This is so absolutely amazing. I adore the colors and the pattern is so lovely! I would be tempted, but all of those ends and sewing together may be a little bit much for my brain.
I know what you mean about boxy and short sweaters. I made a Penguono by Stephen West last year and feel the same way. I’d rather have it longer and narrower, but it’s not the end of the world. I still love the thick squish.
