tweedy is done!

Alexandra Ballerina Top by Stefanie Japel (found in Fitted Knits)

Needles: US 10½ / 6.5 mm

Yarn: Rowan RYC Soft Tweed (7 balls + a wee bit more) in Slate Blue

Size: 33" plus a lot more length for my looooong torso


i really like the back - all the waist shaping was done here - although this photo makes it look a bit lumpy!

while i'm still not 100% about this sweater - as i said before it's the chunk factor - it is cozy and the colour is pretty. oh and i think the sleeves are cute too!

its coming along! the neck is pretty wide & big though, so will likely cut it out and re-knit it tighter. i'm not 100% on this knit - it's feeling a bit chunky. however i love the yarn, Rowan Soft Tweed! why oh why has it been discontinued? (hint... if you see Soft Tweed on sale keep me in mind!)
