Try holding it up to see if it works. I think the jumper would look nice without the piping. You did a good job. I would definitely try another view if I were you. I think NL children's patterns turn out very well. 2/23/09 1:14 AM

I have to take it apart a little bit anyway because it was huge on my DD. I think I'll try it again in a solid color. 2/23/09 9:06 AM
