There were some frogging issues with this sweater. No matter how good of a knitter one is mistakes are made. I had almost completed the peplum part when I discovered a mistake. I did the adult thing, frogged and stated over. Of course it turned out that I didn’t need to frog all the way back to the ribbing – but I did. No photos.P1060961Here is the knitting complete, before blocking, looks small and like it won’t fit.P1060960Back view.

I am impatient, also, how does one cold block this then it is all one piece. so I pulled out the iron and steamed away on my ironing board, pulling and stretching and basically ironing the heck out of this thing.P1070009Very pleased with the result – this looks more like it. The ribbing sits nice and flat on the mannequin.P1070025Not so much on the body, but this is the way it’s supposed to look.P1070022Love the way the front drapes, you can see by my smile.P1070023Other drape options.P1070030Love the curve from front to back.  I highly recommend the pattern, and knitting with Mad Tosh yarn! Heaven, wasn’t painful knitting back the peplum.
