Yes! I have some. I will give it a try on when I’m further along. Currently feeling like I might want to go up a size…my current favorite sweater has a lot of extra room in the torso. But then, that’s the style now. Maybe a slimmer fit will be more timeless.

I decided to go up a size. I’d rather err on the side of more ease than less. Ribbing done again…back where I started.

I love this colour so much

I definitely agree, I’d rather there be too much room than not enough. I know myself, and if it fits too tightly, I just won’t wear it. I agree with @CoffeeBeans, that yarn color is gorgeous!

You also have the benefit of it being a top-down sweater that you can try on as you go. That color is really gorgeous.
I knit a couple inches on my cardi. I keep switching between it and a hat. Those long purl rows are really getting to me, for some reason. Maybe it’s just the weight of the thing - it’s a bit unwieldy.
It’s actually bottom up. I might still try to try it on here and there, but I’m feeling much better about this sizing so far. 
It’s nice to be able to switch between projects when you need a change!

Lol, I thought it was just a wide neck. It’s hard to judge size in pictures sometimes.

To all the people who routinely knit fingering weight sweaters…why? how? This is taking forever. This will be a lesson in patience, I can tell

It’s the lightweight fabric. As much as I love my bulky wool sweaters, sometimes they’re just too warm for indoors. But, yeah they take forever. My cotton sweater took three months.

Here’s my cardi status. Don’t worry, I cast on this summer, I’m not very quick…
The weird flaps are going to become pockets once I knit a bit more of the body. I want a couple more rows before sewing it all in place.

Oooh, I love the color combo!

My first dropped stitches in this sweater came with a series of inappropriate for daytime television words…
But, once I regained my patience, all was well again…
I’m getting about two rounds knit every evening after work. Unless this happens, then all I manage is making it right again before I need a break.

AH! Nice save.
I am working furiously to reach 10 inches before my next class tonight (about 1.5 inches to go). I want to start the sleeves with the teacher’s guidance!

@MamaRhi Yikes! The worst thing in the world is to drop stitches on anything besides stockinette LOL. Brilliant save.
@Abbeeroad You can do it!
I am so sick of the unending rows of fingering stockinette. I did it to myself. Only 2 more repeats to go (9 rounds each - still on the yoke so she’s getting big)…
