But quickly done doesn't necessarily mean happy.
In my opinion, it's too big. Wearable but big. Sleeves are too wide. Body too big around. Maybe too long.
Going in I knew the neckline tended to be big and open and I used 2 sizes smaller needles and did a cable cast-on. That seemed to help tighten things up a bit.
The sleeves would have been several inches to long if I had followed the pattern. The sleeve directions might have worked for smaller diameter sleeves but not on these honking huge ones.
I'll always love Peace Fleece yarn but this batch had more knots than I've ever seen before. And an exceptional amount of vegetable material too. I was a little surprised. I do love the color though and actually the pictures are pretty accurate in that respect.
The buttons are LaMode and were purchased in a rush while DH waited in the car. I love the buttons. I think they look good with the color. Just about the only thing I do like about this sweater.
I'll wear it. It even fits over a sweatshirt so if I'm freezing it'll be the sweater I reach for. I'm just afraid I won't do that reaching very often.
