FO - Spring Sweater PART TWO a.k.a. THANKS JAN!

I frogged back and did that super stretchy bind off that you told me about and it looks and fits so much better now!! Thanks Jan!!

:woot:

Double WOW! Love the fit, the colour… everything about this lovely sweater… :inlove:
Oh, I so want to make one of these…!
TEMA:knitting:

Tema - you SHOULD make one of these!! It’s so easy because there’s no sewing or joining to do. You start at the neck and knit in the round ALL THE WAY DOWN to the bottom. Seriously I wish I could find more sweater patterns like this. I made it in a month.

The only problem I had with it, is that it’s form-fitting - - so instead of doing the decreases after the bodice, I just left them out to create more of a boxy fit. This meant I didn’t know when to do the increases at the hip so it was tight. But Jan gave me a link to a “stretchy bind off” video and now that I’ve redone it that way - it’s stretchy on the bottom and fits perfectly. Phew!

It’s this knitty pattern.

Yay! You’re welcome, I’m so glad it helped!! It fits perfect now and looks great! :yay:

Beautiful apple green color! Looks great!!! The frogging was worth the effort!

In the end you picked the perfect spring color. It looks so much better even than the photo with the pattern. Good work and beautiful fit.

HA! PERFECT!

I was reading and following along on your other post, secretly hoping you would do this! AND YOU DID!

now you have a sweater that you love and will wear!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

That turned out very well. :cheering: You got a good fit and what a great color for spring.

What a difference the bind off made! Glad you decided to frog back and make the changes … it was well worth the extra effort! :cheering:

Big difference with the new bindoff! So glad it came out great and you will be able to wear it :slight_smile:

What a difference in the fit with the new bind off. I think you definitely have a winner with this sweater and the color is absolutely great.

Looks great and I love that green!

Great work! It looks really cute on.
