Ribby Pulli - Done!

I LOVE this sweater! It turned out great and I can see wearing it a lot. The pattern is written super well and I only made a few mods but just for the fit on me.

The Calmer was great to work with and it only took 5 balls, I made a small since I wanted negative ease. I have already bought some more Calmer to work with since it was on sale in a few colors at Webs.

The mods I made to it were to length in both the body and the sleeves. The sleeves I went shorter, 3.5" shorter. The body I went longer, 1.5" since I wanted it to hit the top of my jeans, no belly bearing tops for me. I also did a little shorter ribbing on the neckline but only by half and inch.

I think I may even knit this again but in the totally ribbed version or I may try Bonne Marie's newest top in IK, Aleita, if I can figure out that neckline. The directions just haven't clicked in my brain which makes me worried to try it. It seems to loose me when it talks about using 2 circular needles and working back and forth. I just can not visualize this at all. I may just start it and worry about it when I get there.

You look sooo wonderful! That is such a great fit, too! Color-perfect, shape-excellent! You're really inspiring me to knit something with that yarn. Fantastic knitting job!
