Comments: Loved making this sweater. I did not make any modifications (if you can believe it) for this pattern. I did end up making the medium size thinking the lace part would grow a little, but it really didn't so I was lucky to hear that the sweater fits. phew. One other thing I learned from this project is that lace can be easy and quick as long as you use your stitch markers. It is certainly a quick project with great results. Highly recommend this pattern.
The other great detail on the sweater was the fabulous buttons.

It's even prettier in person. I was managing to avoid the mania for this sweater, but seeing yours made me want to knit it.
That came out so beautifully. You really did a great job with it - and yay on the fit!! :-)
I've also been trying to avoid the mania! But I'd printed out the pattern and I think I'm getting sucked in. I love Cascade 220, and your's is beautiful. But I think I am going to use Lorna's Laces Green Line Worsted, and maybe add a super thin strand of mohair. Most like Kid Seta from Cascade.
Beautiful, Beautiful sweater!!!
