That's one beautiful sweater. I've not seen a finished one before. Great job!


i know how you can fix your sleeve caps!

i had the exact same problem with a cardi of mine years ago and i fixed it with no frogging involved.


Oh, I think it is super stunning and don't see any of the problems that you pointed out. I would be ever so proud of myself if I could knit anything half as wonderful.


I think it looks great, Miss Kris!! I love the color and the fit. I hope it "grows" on you!

Have a wonderful and relaxing holiday!


Sorry that you're disappointed, but I think the sweater is lovely. It looks perfect for a cool fall day and I think the color is smashing. I hope it grows on you!


I think it's lovely
enjoy your holiday :]


Your knitting is as always beautiful.

Have a wonderful time in Spain!


The color is magnificent. I'm sorry you're not 100% happy with the result. I feel ya. Although, from the photos alone, I wouldn't have noticed any of the imperfections!


I really love the colour and all the details. Thank you for the inspiration, now I'll have to sit down and knit something new and blue!


enjoy your holiday! love those little details on the jacket. you've done a marvelous job


Simply stunning, Kris. Happy holiday!


Look at you!!!! That is just terrific! The teal, the texture!! - the fit - f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s!!!
However - I hope you won't get many chances to wear it in Spain! Wish you loads of sun and fun!!


i really love this. i know it's not fitting exactly the way you had envisioned, but the color combined with that texture is really beautiful.


With your arms down, you don't even notice the sleeves. This is gorgeous!


kris, it's gorgeous! the color if just fabulous, and the details like the shoulder buttons really make it look so polished. enjoy your vacation!


I love that color and it looks gorgeous on you. Sorry that the fit is off, but like you said, can't complain about a few lost kilos, right? =)


It's beautiful!! This is one of my favorite yarn colors ever, though I've never made anything with it. I especially love your photo of the back. And I know you don't like the oversized sleeve caps, but they don't look huge to me, and they do add to the whole military feel (epaulets, etc).


What a great looking jacket! The colour is beautiful. I think the fit looks good on you


It's fabulous!!! A beautiful color, and very elegant shape. The stitch pattern looks really cool and dressy. I think the sleeves look just fine and give you room to wear more underneath if you want


Your tailored jacket is lovely. I find the colour you chose is elegant and fresh. I agree with you about the epaulettes, but the depth of the armhole is hardly noticeable unless your hands are on your hips.

Have a wicked holiday! Three weeks, wow.


Gorgeous! and the color is great on you. And you've let your hair grow long, too. It's pretty trailing over the stitches. Have a great time.


Beautiful. Loving the epaulet detail and the stitch pattern. About the sleeve caps, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't posted that last picture, so wear it proudly!

Have a wonderful holiday!


Oh it's gorgeous!! I love the colour, and I imagine it must be just divine to wear. Enjoy the holidays!


It looks perfect on you, I love the shoulder button design.


i love the design. it looks like it would be comfy to wear. i hope that you'll still get some use out of it! have a great vacation!


It looks wonderful on you, and it turned out great. I have always looked at the pattern but as yet have not knit it up. Perhaps you will inspire me to make one too.


I love it, and it looks fantastic on you! That color is really gorgeous. Have a great holiday!


It's so cute!!


It looks great! Have a FABULOUS holiday!


It looks great! I love the color.
Have a fabulous holiday!


I like it. The color is great, as are the buttons...and it's softeeee! Win, win, win! And you can wear it buttoned without button pucker!


how about shoulder pads? I hear they're back in fashion! Just kidding. I think the jacket looks fabulous, and I don't think the sleeve caps look so big. Nice colour too!


I am totally digging the epaulettes. sorry to hear about the big sleeves, but the whole jacket looks pretty darn good to me. Enjoy vacation!


Oh, I think it does look smashing. That waffle-like pattern must have taken forever to knit and the tailoring is just beautiful. A+


It looks great. I love all the special details - the epauletts and all the buttons, and the color is terrific. And I don't think the sleeve caps look huge at all!


I think it looks smashing! And would never have noticed the roomy sleeve caps if you hadn't pointed it out.

I am mad for the buttons at the cuffs - that's a great detail.


Oh, I love that shade of dark turquoise (teal?). The epaulettes are darling and the buttoned cuffs add such visual interest!
Too bad about the fit though...


I like how it looks on you. The buttons on the cuff are my favorite part.


the sweater looks great on you. so it will not be a fashion "thing" but rather a beloved cardi to snuggle with. I LOVE the sleeve cuffs, wow. how cool.

hope you are in good health!
