I was a bit disappointed in this wool -
I loved the colours (they're a bit lighter than shown in here) and thought it would make a nice speckly effect on a sleeveless pullover. Unfortunately the colour stripes are so long that they make this stripy effect -
Anyway, I'm persevering, and making a slightly different version of this -
I'm making it a bit longer, I've made the front an inch wider, and I'm just about to add another inch extra shaping for the bust. Wish me luck!
In other news (as they seem to say these days) I have bought myself a dummy and have used it to help make a top to the right dimensions. I followed a pattern for the top, but have designed my stripy throwback to the 40s all on my ownsome.
