Where's Wallis?

Here she is! I finished my Wallis Cardigan and am pretty happy with it. I did have to fuss with the sleeves, but I think it was worth it. The pleats at the shoulders and the gathers on the sleeves are cute, but they definitely make you look more broad there. It's an interesting silhouette, but I do feel a little self-conscious about looking like a linebacker since it's not the 80's or the 40's anymore. Regardless, I remain charmed by the pleats. My other favorite details are the welts at the bottom and the edge treatment around the front opening--simple but effective.

This was my first time using the Silkience yarn, and I really like it. It has a nice drape and feel. The lustrous strand (not sure if this is the silk or the rayon part) does tend to split from the rest of the yarn, so you have to watch for it as you knit. Other than that, it's a pretty dreamy yarn, and I'll definitely use it again.

There are lots more pics and details in the gallery and on Ravelry.
