Catching up on Finished Objects.

Another finished sweater.  This one with far more ambivalent results.

I am just not sure what I think.  It does look a great deal like the pattern photo:

But the fabric feel to light and flimsy to me, and the drape of the rayon makes the belt grow longer and thinner as the day wears on.  I am constantly readjusting.

So I tried removing the belt, opening up the side seams to make belt loops and wearing a different belt with the sweater.  It may be marginally better, but I am not convinced we are meant for each other, this sweater and I.

More likely I let my imagination run away with my common sense.

Chalk this one up to experience.

    I like it, especially with your second styling. Think of it as a scarf with armholes, instead of a sweater?

    I think you’ve styled it well in photo 2 – and I think it is really imaginative. But I agree that it is quite wispy. You know of my challenges with wispy. I say you should keep it and work with it in a few more ways. If you still don’t like it, I’m sure it will look wonderful on a friend…

    The second style is great, but flimsy fabric annoys me too. Why not wear it for awhile and see what you think?
