First of all I want to thank all the wonderful ladies who have already commented on my sweater. Thank you for making me feel so special! Knitting people are the best!
I wore my Hourglass sweater to church rehearsal tonight, and it’s quite comfy. The KP mainline seems to stretch a bit, but nothing outrageous for a cotton blend. I asked Marc to take pictures for me tonight… but he snuck up on me instead.

My only issue is the hem, which still wants to roll a bit. I’m not sure if I want to mess with it, because I think it may just be the result of the sweater construction. I may tack it down again to see if I can get it a bit more flat. But overall I’m just thrilled with my sweater! I especially love the neckline and the bell sleeves. It was a tedious knit, but I think the results were definitely worth it!
Now I have to decide on my next sweater. So many choices…

The sweater is beautiful! Glad it fits you SO well.
Hi there, I came across your site on the knitters blog roll. What a wonderful sweater – such a great colour on you. Which pattern did you use? Happy knitting! 🙂
It looks great! How many balls of the mainline did you use? I have some in my stash. I never though of using it for this sweater. Yours looks fantastic.
Scarybez – it’s the Hourglass sweater pattern from the “Last minute knitted gifts” book. It’s a really great book (and pattern!)
Beautiful, and the color is gorgeous and really flattering too you.
lookin’ good!
