What a Body

like i said dolce and gabbana might get mad if tourists are able to get this at super low discount prices.

here is the inside, with steeks:

its kind of on the tight side.. good thing i didnt subtract inches for stretching or else it wouldnt have fit! also, i'm always self-conscious in things ive knitted.. much more so than in anything from stores, but i wont make any predictions on wearability until its done! im excited to start the sleeves!

I've been out of touch and not reading my regular blogs. When I saw your project I wondered if it was the one in the mags... and then I read some more. FANTASTIC! You are figuring out your sweater by staring at the ripped magazine page, for hours. And your not sick of it yet! I'm doing that too but with a Pringle sweater. I'm not sick of it yet either.
We ought to have a Knock-Off-Along!

Wow, the sweater is coming along great. I don't think it looks tight, either. But if you're uncomfortable with it when it's done, maybe you can try stretching it with a little blocking?

I am so impressed! I really, really like it and it looks so good with the fair isle innards showing! It's the coolest!

it's looking great!!

I don't think it's tight at all, pretty perfect if you ask me, but youre the one that has to be happy in it. some blocking will add a little more ease into it I'ms ure

I love how your floats are on the outside. What an amazing design element! Your steeks look great too- I'm going to do my first steeks on my next project. I'm sure you will be able to block it to fit, so don't worry. Happy Knitting!

Wow. It's awesome. I love how it fits and it looks just like I imagined it would. And it seems like it's coming along quickly.

Wow. It's looking pretty darn awesome already. I am looking forward to seeing the sleeves! The fit seems exactly right.

Wow your sweater is turning out great! I love the design. Does the pattern continue on the sleeves, or is it just in the top of the body of the sweater. Really SQ its turing out amazing!!
