| Beautiful and Unique! Reviewed by Emily Furda on 2008-08-03 |

I knitted this sweater about 1 1/2 years ago and it is still my favorite. I used the carnival yarn. Every time I wear it I get compliments because it's so unique. I've worn it with everything from jeans to skirts and it looks great for every situation. I added an extra row of drop stitches and seed stitches pattern to make it longer.
You do need some kind of shirt underneath because it is see through. It is light enough to not be too hot with something underneath. I like that because I can pair it with a tank, tee, or long sleeve shirt and it works from fall to spring, wnd even cool summer evenings.
I gave it four stars only because of 2 issues when you wear it. First, it does stretch. The first time I wore it I was glad I had saftey pins in my purse because it began to slide off the shoulders. I just pinned it to the shirt I had on underneath. The only other draw back is that the drop stitches to sometimes come uneven, so you have to take time to pull them even like shoe laces.
All in all though it makes a beautiful sweater. It was my first sweater and first intermediate pattern and I love it. I even made a number of scarves using the drop stitches with the Incredible yarn and everyone loves them. I'm actually knitting my 12 one now! People keep asking for one.
I have one hint for working with the yarn. If you don't want to invest in some kind of yarn keeper, just get some thick hair gummies. (Thin ones pop off and make sure they are metal free) I put one around the ball as I work and pull yarn off a little at a time. It keeps it in place and makes it easier to untwist.
