Even though the pattern and the yarn got in the way of a good thing, I think you've done a fabulous job of making a sweater that suits you perfectly!

Your modifications made for one fabulous sweater. What a great job, and it looks terrific on you!

Very cute! I think yours is cuter than the original...

Your modifications look really great. Actually, I had already thought it looked really good in the picture where you still had it sleeveless, too. Great job!

It looks great! You are the queen of mods. Over the turkey-days, this is the one project I worked on. I also knit it in the round up to the armholes, and I also made the neck/cowl narrower. I still have half the cowl and arms to do, though

Looks good! I noticed the bell-sleeves at once..and liked them!

You have my favorite FOs all the time! This turned out so beautifully.

Who cares about lethargy? It looks amazing on you. The color is great, and the shaping brings out every single curve in the most flattering way imaginable. Great work!

Love this sweater and it looks perfect on you - good job with the modifications! Makes me want to knit one now.

I love it! Looks much better than the one in the mag. I actually saw yours on Ravelry then went to the WEBS website to see if I could get some of that yarn. 2 colors left, though, and I didn't like either. Oh well.

Totally different subject: I now have a membership to the local climbing gym and want to start bouldering. (I can't persuade my climbing partner to go as much as I want to since he doesn't have a membership, and I can go during the day when none of my other friends can, so I have no belay partner.) Any tips???

Hi!
I just wanted to tell you that your Placed Cable Aran sweater is so very nice and fits you perfectly. I'm always waist shaping too - don't you just hate the boxy look?

My first thought when I saw your picture was "wow! what a great sweater for you!" I feel a bit better knowing the pattern needed tweaking to fit so perfectly since I've never had an unaltered pattern fit that great

Fabulous job on this piece! You should be proud.
