The Scoop Pullover is all done.
I like it. Although it is a bit big on top. I did go down to a size US 8 needle to obtain gauge.
I ran out of the purplish stash yarn so I used some of the same yarn in green to finish up the sleeves and I kinda like how it looks. I just love a happy accident.
It's also about an inch shorter than recommended in the pattern - because well, I ran out of yarn - but I'm fine with the length.
Pattern: Scoop Pullover -
Yarn: Classic Elite Yarns Bazic Wool superwash, color 2953 (magenta) and 2912 (forest green)
Size: small - 8 balls magenta & 1/2 ball green (550 yards total)
Needles: US 8
Now I'm off to make basil and parmesan chicken for lunch - using the bouquet of basil that ezra picked this morning. This kiddo is truly enjoying poking around the garden and coming up with recipe ideas.
Have a Happy Sunday, you all!
Larissa! It turned out just splendid. I like the happy accident of the green too. From this side of the computer, it's not looking too big, it appears to fit you well. great job! Enjoy that yummy lunch.

I can't believe you didn't plan on the green accent - it is a great touch! and the length is good, doesn't look big on top - in short, I pretty much think it's perfect. Don't you just love CE yarns?

This is just gorgeous! I love the scoop neck in the front, it really makes the piece, and the colors are a great combo. Beautiful job

This is really gorgeous. I have yet to attempt a sweater, but I do have a pattern that I am dying to get after...maybe a good winter project!
