MaryBeth said... This sweater is really pretty, in fact. I made up view B blending my PMB2 ragland (the two patterns were almost identical) and the "B" collar. It didn't sit on the shoulders like the picture but higher, more like view C. So I'd say it isn't just you but the pattern pieces just aren't long enough to look like the line drawings. I'm glad it wasn't just me, too! 1/11/04 8:58 PM

CarolynGM said... I like the way your sweater turned out -- it is very flattering on you. I have resisted getting this pattern because I thought the neckline was too large, and I would freeze. Your neckline looks smaller than the pattern picture indicates. Did you change anything? 1/12/04 5:43 PM
Jackie M said... Irina, no, I didn't change anything. I think the thickness and drapiness of the fabric you choose will affect how low the neckline drapes, and whether or not it covers your shoulders ... View C doesn't have as nearly as large a neckline as View A, which is the view most reviewers have made in the past. 1/12/04 7:50 PM
