Lupine Saltwind - Finished!

I finished up the body this past Sunday evening, and finished up the ribbing on Monday, blocking it Monday evening.
Here is a photo of the body taken Sunday evening, under artificial light.
And a photo of the body with one armhole finished taken Monday morning.  I always find the contrast between artificial and natural light so interesting.  I blocked gently, just smoothing things out and gently shaping it so that things lay flat and straight.  No pulling or stretching.  My gauge is just a wee bit tighter than the called for gauge, but that suits me just fine.  It is a little bit oversized in the shoulders - the ribbing  extends past my shoulders, and the neckline is pretty broad, but overall I am happy with the fit.  It is not too big, just roomy enough to be comfy.
