It's beautiful. I wonder if I can change it to where it doesn't have a zipper on the neck, which doesn't seem like it would be comfortable. I can't believe it isn't knit in the round! That sweater practically demands it. Susan I like that sweater too! It’s beautiful.

I've been looking the pattern over. It would be easy to change to knitting in the round. I haven't checked the clearance for the head opening.If it's large enough, I don't know why you couldn't just knit in the round, make a closed neck. I do think the pattern itself may need a bit of tweaking too. I've been looking at the placement of the decreases on the yoke; I squinted and notice a small "bulge" in front of the neck. (You need the magazine to see that.) I suspect the yoke shaping could be improved by shifting some of the decreases around a bit. But the general design is beautiful and I strongly suspect I will make that sweater, or something very like it, next summer to wear next winter. I’m also mystified why it’s not knit in the round.

I finally let my subscription lapse. I envy you your charting/designing abilities. That was in VK? Figures. I finally let my subscription lapse.

It's BEAUTIFUL! I betcha you could figure out how to knit it in the round...I'm trying to work it for Rhapsody in the round, with little success.

Admittedly, my standard for "good" in a magazine is "more than 4 things I would wear." I do count the more ordinary sweaters in my tally. Sweaters I would admire on others with different figure types are a bonus. I think the only items I wouldn't wear, and probably wouldn't admire on others is 23! (And that's just because I don't care for is 23. The only reason I don't like that swaeter is I don't like large patches of color mixed with the cables. The vest would look great in another yarn!

I love looking at the issue before buying. I have so many and it's hard to throw them away! That is a beautiful pattern. I love looking at the issue before buying.
