A perfect fit, and I don't see it as a waterfall cardigan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn/page/2#post-1555174 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 03:17:56 +0000 Allie 1555174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! Great color, fit, and pattern.</p> <p>I love knitting, but live in a warm climate so knitting doesn't love me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn/page/2#post-1555122 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 01:43:50 +0000 Jaime 1555122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is waterfall, more swing as others have said. The color and crochet effect are fantastic - looks terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn/page/2#post-1555101 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 01:01:37 +0000 Anonymous 1555101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fab! Talent and style: I love the colour you chose and definitely think the vibe is swing cardi, not waterfall Did you tailor the fit on top as well? It fits you to perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn/page/2#post-1555047 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 23:43:40 +0000 Word Lily 1555047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Caro.

I’m glad you like it.</p> <p><b>Suz:</b> This color is part of the '70s thing? I hadn’t made that connection yet, that’s helpful (and interesting).</p> <p><b>Amy:</b> Ha! I think it was Paul who put me in the driveway; the tree gets boring. In my first set of photos of this sweater (before I lengthened it), one of the tops I tried it with was actually mint, though. So I’ll probably pair them again. Also chartreuse, and I’m thinking about aqua. Based on my project notes, it took me nearly a month, but that includes letting it dry, photoing it the first time, ripping back, and all the dithering that went on before I got up the nerve to rip and reknit.</p> <b>E:</b> Yes, there's a nod to cat-eye, at least; here's another photo (and adding the Find, too) of the frames. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn/page/2#post-1555037 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 23:33:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 1555037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fantastic knitter on the forum YLF &amp; I think it's important to follow your heart when choosing clothing.

I would definately not call it a waterfall. Its a swing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn#post-1554798 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:52:10 +0000 Suz 1554798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning!! <b>Wow</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would not call this waterfall. I'd call it more of a swing style, and to my eye it fits in exactly with the more feminine trends we are seeing. The lace effect is also a nod to the 70s trend, as is the colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>The fit is perfect on you and it is so flattering!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn#post-1554787 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:39:13 +0000 Maneera 1554787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love this!

I like the shape and color on you, and I love the look of that lacy intricate knitting.

I need to figure out my fourth fall/winter one (3rd needs some maths but I could cast on for the first piece). I've decided that at least for now, I basically always want to have a sweater for myself on the needles, since I have so many socks, so many accessories, already.</p> <p>And yes, I think that does count. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn#post-1554777 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:23:59 +0000 Alassë 1554777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour and stitching detail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn#post-1554771 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:06:48 +0000 Diana 1554771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous!&nbsp; I really like it lengthened - one thing I keep thinking with a lot of projects made from this pattern as originally written is that the fronts are so short and awkward looking.&nbsp; With this length, I think they drape much more nicely and it looks very elegant.</p> <p>Love the color for you too.&nbsp; </p> <p>I am impressed you have already finished a fall sweater!&nbsp; I am just starting to think about starting them, LOL.&nbsp; (Although I do have one sweater that I finished knitting in spring, and just needs to be sewn together.&nbsp; Does that count?)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn#post-1554764 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:56:21 +0000 kimmyg50 1554764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa! that is a GORGEOUS sweater and you look great in it!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-handknit-sweater-for-autumn#post-1554763 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:55:57 +0000 Angie 1554763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUCH a great fit, WL.
