I finished this little sweater for my niece last night. I had hoped to finish it in time to mail it before the post office's deadline for packages to get there before Christmas, but I didn't really even come close. It will be a New Year's gift instead.
I'm really happy with how it turned out. It was a fun and fairly quick and easy knit. I hope it fits well. I'm really not sure if the sleeves are the right length - I don't remember whether the pattern was written for 3/4 length or full length sleeves, and I wasn't thinking about that at all when I made the sleeves 1/4-1/2" longer than the pattern said to (I also lengthened the body by about that amount; my niece is tall and skinny).
I would definitely make this sweater again. There is also a version for older girls and for adults. I kind of want to make the adult version for myself.
This is beautiful!!! And a lovely pattern too. Great color.
