craftgrrl | Happy Hooker Unseamly Sweater

My first clothing item other than a hat or scarf!!

Yay!!

My blank model stare...

Closer...

Closer?

I did mine with Wool Ease in Forest Green Heather.

Picot? Pic-NO! - I'm not a fan of picot, and I didn't particularly care for the edging, so around the neck, I just did about 2 or 3 rows of single crochet instead:

I LOVE the length of the sleeves. I have freakish arms that are about 2 or 3 inches longer than "normal" people, so I liked actually having my hands covered for once instead of sleeves being obnoxiously above my wrist!

My only complaint is the waist. I like the tapering but I think that it needed to be in a stitch pattern with a little more [i]give[/i] to it. I don't consider myself particularly boobful, but when I've worn it and I go to take it off, it requires a little more maneuvering than normal...

So far I've washed it once and it came out relatively unscathed. Hooray!!!!!
