Just finished this......was able to pull it off even with a "funky" eye.....these are very popular as they slim the figure......this will go in my fall show.........

Beautiful once again. I can see now the shape of your back and length of the armholes. The one I attempted to do with that shell crochet had shorter arm slits. This is how the lady on YouTube said to do it but to get back shaping like yours I can see the longer slit is necessary before all the rounding of rows. Just lovely.

Beautiful, I can`t knit or crochet , so I admire people who can :) Maybe I`m going to learn, when I become a pensioner.

great result !! lovely colours too :)

Vicki, can I ask what type yarn you are using? I cannot knit, but I have seen these in crochet, though not as pretty as yours here.

No, what I mean is what pattern book is it from e.g, Company, code number etc?

Or did you make it up yourself. Love Chris

Yes, Burgundy, Peach, Gold, Green, Blue, maybe Purple too. I can see why it sells!

Brill!

Beautiful, I have never seen one before but I can see from the front how they can make someone look slim. You did a fantastic job making this. Great color too. I can see why these would be a big seller.
