This one knit up quickly, cast on March 29 and finished April 14, I do so like top down in the round patterns. I added some extra length because I like my tops just a bit longer than the pattern called for. I did add the short row shaping for the back.
The fit is perfect, and the yarn is deliciously soft. I had a tendency to stop and pet it while I was knitting. This is also one of the few patterns that I have knit where the Knitting Barber Cords really worked well. I had put the sleeve stitches on them when I was working the body, and when I wanted to try on the top to check the length it was easy to slip the body stitches on and off a cord. I sometimes find that for some yarns the stitches just don’t slip easily on the cord, and I’ve actually pulled the cord off the needle tip, which is a nuisance, to say the least.
