I love this finished project. I think it has come out beautifully.
I knit the size C and chose to do the option 2 colour blocking.
I added an extra 4 repeats to the length of the garment as I have a long torso and I didnt want it to be too short.
The pattern was very well written with lots of places to track your progress and good explainations throughout. Its a really great pattern to use up those beautiful single skeins and is a very adaptable pattern to suit most tastes.
I would highly recommend the pattern
