Notes: Daniella looks smashing in the new sweater! I'm very happy with how it turned out. The pattern gives you option to leave the front open to wear as a cardigan, or sew it up for a pullover. I opted for a pullover. Because of the irregular shape and the stockinette on the edges, I have to arrange it and let the front overlap just so, or it would hang crooked. It's been very warm for the past few weeks, and I look forward to being able to wear it myself. In the mean time, I'm very happy I have Daniella modeling the sweater, and I get to take pictures any way I like.
Happy Friday! Join the party on Andrea's blog, Tami's blog, and leave me a comment!

OMG! This is absolutely STUNNING! I agree with sewing it up and making it a pullover. I love how the colors worked out and just the overall look. As always, I am just amazed by your beautiful knitting projects.
Wow! What a gorgeous sweater! Those colors and the pattern they make are amazing! Fantastic job :D
Nice job Vivian and I love the colors.
OhMyBob - that is just gorgeous!!!!! I cannot believe how the color changes worked out perfectly. You definitely will need to snap an action photo once it gets cool enough.

I can't think of anything to say that conveys how gorgeous this sweater is ... wow. I'm stunned into silence.
That's really dramatic! A real show-stopper! WOW!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
For those that want to knit this sweater, take a look at the finished projects on Ravelry. Some of them were done in solid yarns and some in more stripy yarns. Different yarns definitely give it a different look.
Oh wow, you couldn't have picked a more attractive yarn, it is beautiful with that pattern! I'm definitely queuing that beauty for when I'm feeling ambitious. This may be one of my favorites of yours Vivian!
It's breath taking! I love the color and I'm sure it will look fabulous on you with your dark hair. Great job!
That turned out amazing! As if there was any doubt. ;-)
I love it.
Dramatic and powerful - what an amazing sweater. I was entranced by the yarn as you were working on it, and seeing it finished I'm blown away! This is a head turner for sure!! Nice job!
Wow, Vivian...how dramatic and stylish! I'll bet it looks wonderful on you, too! XO-
