No Turning Back

I went ahead and finished the body of my February Lady Pullover. Besides the mistake I showed you before, I also regret not starting the waist increases an inch or two higher than I did. Ultimately, though, it's really hard to tell the difference once the sweater is actually on:


Now I just have to knit the sleeves!

    The is the very first finished February Lady Pullover I've seen.
    I've read about knitters 'working' on theirs, but this is my first time seeing the finished sweater.
    1. I L♥VE you color choice.
    2. Looks to be a perfect ! ! ! Congrats on that ! ! !

    Now I guess I'll get my knitting out and work on my Stacy Shawl.
    hugs

    Thank you, Gerry! Actually, I still have to knit the sleeves. You're right though--it would also be great as a vest/sleeveless top.

    I agree with GerryART -- your February Lady Pullover looks wonderful the way it is! You might want to consider leaving this one as a tank/sleeveless top. It's gorgeous and the colorway is really beautiful. Might you be tempted to leave this one as is and then cast on another February (with sleeves)? xo

    This looks great! I also thought it was finished already as a sleeveless top. I could not see the mistake you mentioned in the earlier posting without staring at it really really hard. I also don't see any issues with the waist shaping.

    Thanks, everyone. Since this is such an autumnal color, I'm going to go ahead with the sleeves, but I love the idea of doing this in a lighter color for a spring/summer sleeveless top!

    I agree that I love the idea of sleeves with this color--why won't the leaves turn already?! But you've totally got me wanting this in an ocean blue for a tank, now. :) Thanks for making something so lovely with my design!

    Such a gorgeous color! I can't wait to see what you wear this with!

    I also think it would make a great sleeveless vest over a tie-neck blouse!

    @ Gail: I love the idea of pairing it with a tie-neck blouse!

    @Amy: Thank you very much for the encouragement and the great pattern. I believe the leaves will change *much* earlier for you than they will for me!

    Very pretty, even without the sleeves.
