Glass is Half-full Addendum

Okay, I just tried my sweater on, and it has some very good things going for it:

1. the color of the yarn is beautiful: butterscotch and undertones of reds and pinks in a silk tweed yarn


2. there's a great place in the back where it flares out just so


3. the sleeves are the right length


4. the lacework on the yoke and sleeves is the right balance of openness and bumpiness


5. the sleeves bell at the cuff - a detail that I love in sweaters


6. I think that if I take the time and plan a border and a placket to broaden the front of the sweater that I'll have a very nice piece of work here
