I wrote last spring about my plan to create a sleeveless sweater to coordinate with my Da Capo, using the extra yarn. After a long summer break (when it was too hot to think about wool) and two unsuccesful tries on the shoulder straps, I finished this in the early hours of 2008.

Wow!! That is awesome. What a great idea and wonderful execution.
Ellen, it is beautiful. And thanks so much for letting us see it modeled on a person (rather an laying flat on a table, or draped over a chair).
It looks great!
That is fantastic! So flattering!
Wow. wowie wow wow that is GREAT!
Great work! I like the shoulder straps.
I agree with Elaine - the photo on you is wonderful. What an inspired garment - it's stunning.
Love seeing what you did with the "leftovers", so inspiring! It looks fantastic on you. I appreciate the live models in pictures. I think you nailed the shoulder straps and I love the diagonals when worn signally or with the jacket. 3 Cheers for a job well done!
I love your pattern. Do you plan on publishing it? I would really like to make one to go with mine. You could always submit it to knitty.com.
That's a fabulous idea - and it looks great!
Thanks for all the kind and encouraging comments. I don't plan to publish a pattern, since I made it up as I went along, but it has many elements of the original pattern, and is essentially a sleeve that does not get wider because I decreased at the edge to offset the center increase.
Great job. Fantastic.. wow, how creative of you! You should have a better close-up!!
