Excuse the non-blocked item with nasty lighting photos (not a helper to be found at home today!) Couldn't wait to show Gretel off the needles. I still need to pick up the sleeve stitches, cast them back off, and work in my ends. The second ball of Solo Silk was nothing but tied ends...20 to be exact. Very irritating to say the least. So my upper yoke has lots of yarn to weave in, but I'll deal with it.This is the smallest size with an added an extra inch to the body length before beginning the armholes. I wish I'd done another 1/2", but it will probably grow in the blocking process any way. I don't like how wide the neck-line is on me. I have a narrow shoulder area & it is gaping a bit. That means redoing the cast-off to tighten it up or even undoing the seed stitch rows and continuing the decrease rows, me thinks! The purple pooling/striping is not my fave thing either, but I love the overall rose/terracotta color so I won't over-dye (though I was tempted!).

Well there is one thing you are doing that you won't see on my post whenever I get to it and that is you are modeling your Gretel. LOL It looks good on you! I am in agreement about the purple stripes. Do wish it was all more terracotta. Lovely though. Not much left to do on it now!
It's going to be super cute! Stripes are a bit distracting but once you're wearing it in bright light I think it will not be an issue. Can't wait to see the finished product!
IS VERY GOOD..............................
You are on the final stretch! It's very pretty!!
