Gathered Pullover

Okay, I love this sweater. Really, I do! I've made a few sweaters now and even a few for me, but they never seem to work out. This one isn't perfect, but I really like it.

Pattern: Gathered Pullover from Interweave Knits

Yarn: Baruffa 7 Settembre in a blue/gold/purple tweedy mix

Needles: US 7

Notes: I pretty much stuck with the pattern on this one. I should have paid more attention to my row gauge as the sweater relaxed even more than I expected upon washing. I added a bit to the body and sleeve length because bare midriffs are not a good idea for someone of my age and stature and my arms are extremely long (really, I've been measured and they are in the 80th percentile for women). I am really happy with the length of the body, but the sleeves are maybe just a little too long. Still, they are not so long that I would reknit them. Happy, happy, happy!
