Looks very cute on you!! Thanks for the review. I l ike a raglan top, but would also like it more close fitting.

Your top looks really nice on - it doesn't look too loose to me. You did a very nice job sewing - looks very professional!

I like this top. Took considerably less time to sew up than your coat, huh? :)

Asa, even though the top isnt the fit you are looking for, I think it looks great on you. This pattern is next on my to-sew list. It helps to know that the fit isnt that close fitting.

Your top looks very nice and I thought it looked like it fit well. But you are the wearer and you have to feel comfortable with it. You did a nice job.

I'll be interested in hearing you comparison w/ KS3120. You should be very pleased w/ your first knit; it looks very wearable.

I haven't sewn this pattern but I have sewn the 3120 several times and have no bunching of excess fabric under the arms. I'm wondering if this pattern either has too much length for the raglan sleeve (similar to having a too deep armscye) or if maybe you need a bit more room in the bust after all. If you have some cheap or leftover fabric, you might cut out a short sleeve and upper torso making one of these changes and see hwo the fit changes for you. Or just try the 3120 and see how it fits. If it has the same issues you probably need to make adjustments on all your KS tops in the future. Otherwise, you'll know it was just the 2874. Gosh, hope this made sense. Early, no tea yet..... yawn...

I like the top very much! but I'm really looking forward to read your comparsion with KS 3120!

Good morning Rhonda, and thanks for your suggestions! I think a big reason for the fabric bunching is that the upper sleeves are very wide. I'll make sure to report on the differences with 3120.
