Pics of an upsized shrweater

BJ has already knit this shrweater; here are the pics. She used Lorna's in the Tuscany coloway. Doesn't it look amazing? I am so digging this stitch pattern.

BJ upsized the garment. I'd been worried that making it fit around a no-longer-tiny body (or fit around it with lots of room to spare in BJ's case--a 40" garment on 5'4" medium-size BJ) would be way too long, but I think it looks great. I like it better than the length the Vogue model is wearing.

There is a small hole visible in the center of the medallion, so I think you're wise to try various cast-ons. I'm experimenting with them later today and will post about it tonight or tomorrow.

I haven't seen this in person. BJ lives 3,000 miles from me! She's a virtual knitting pal. :)
