The details:
Rusted Root, size medium.
I used three skeins of Cascade venenzia , color 117. It is a silk and merino blend, and the most gorgeous yarn ever. I did a steam block, and the drape is perfect. It feels like, well, silk.
I did not make the sleeves as puffy as the pattern called for, but other than that, no changes. I think the pattern really ran true to size. It is supposed to be a bit sexy, and at first I thought it was going to be too small for me, but now I can not imagine it looking good any bigger. I had to throw caution to the wind and resist knitting the large instead, and I am so happy I did.
Those Zephyr girls really know how to write good pattern!

I am just learning the etiquette of blogs-and now that I have seen this little beauty in person (you look GREAT!) I thought I should stop by and tell you what a beautiful job you did on this sweater-you are my knitting heroine!
Etiquette for blogs - I'm new - what does that mean? By the way the sweater is beautiful and it inspired me to knit one for myself - I'm using Tahki cotton.
