Avril, final photo

Here is the modeling shot of Avril.  Although fall may be just around the corner it does not feel particularly autumnal outdoors today.

 

The sweater fits well enough, certainly better than RTW, but it is not my favorite of all the things I have ever knit.  I could have knit it a little longer.  This is a length that I frequently wear, and which usually looks good, but the bulky knit at this length is not as much of a success.

 

I also knit most of the body of this sweater last fall, before I started my now standard alterations, namely adding one inch extra length at the center front over the bustline and decreasing one inch from the center back at the waist.  Now that I know how much better sweaters fit with these alterations I find I am less happy with "standard" fit and find myself wanting to tug and pull just a bit.  I'll try to restrain myself because I don't want to reknit this and it is perfectly acceptable.

 

I also don't know why the bottom band curls out.  That I'll have to look at further, although it is not something I notice while I am wearing the sweater as much as when I look at the pictures.

Thank you Mater. 
I bought the skirt in the spring and it has seen heavy wear this
summer.  Now I see how easily it
will transition into fall and I am thinking about more skirts with eccentric
cuts.  It is from Elm Design, a
company I heard about through Metscan’s blog.

 

Metscan, I am enjoying the new longer hair.  It is about at its maximum length for
my comfort.  I know the cardigan
looks good, an it is a good length. 
I think I mostly need to play with the proportions of what I wear it
with.  It seems there are always
new things to learn.

Not bad at all. I like your new hairstyle too. The cardigan looks perfect, but I´m sure you know what feels good on you.
