Brown Cherry finished

Edit: It’s been washed & is now pinned to the blocking board drying. The puckering around the yoke decrease rounds has disappeared and is now nice & flat! The yarn softened up a lot after washing. I knit this with Knitpicks Merino Style in a pretty tight gauge, 6.5sts/ inch, on size 5 needles. It is fan-frickin-tastic!!!

I finished the brown cherry last night. I am so happy with it! I just have to give the yoke a good blocking & wash it before it makes it’s first real debut in public. But for now, here it is!

By using the k1tbl, p1 rib it gets a tiny bit of a twist on the sleeves & bottom but I think I like that added surprise. I love how the shaping hits all my curves perfectly! It’s a very happy day when you design something and the finished product is better than you expected!

I am considering putting the pattern up for free but I just can’t decide. I do love it so much! I suppose it’s worth something, not just free. Let me know what you think, wouldja?
