| Love this sweater ! Reviewed by Nita Stonehocker on 2009-01-30 |

Love this pattern, I used different colors, and it took me well over 5 hours, but I am very pleased with the results. Lots of compliments. Between the moonlight mohair and the incredible ribbon yarn it has a lot of sparkle, that really doesn't show well in the picture.
I probably could have made the smaller size, but I wasn't sure, as it looks about right on the skinny model.
Unless you are larger than an 18W, I suggest the smaller size, I added some length, (about 3 inches), it really didn't need once it hung for a while.
