Completed: December 2007
Pattern: Inspired by Juliet, by Zephyrstyle
Yarn: Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Chunky (100% wool), 7 x 50g balls (66yds each)
Notes: I really liked the pics I was seeing of other people's finished Juliet cardigans. I didn't get the pattern, though, because I decided I could figure out the top part by myself and just pick a lace pattern for the bottom. Also, for my body, I knew I'd have to make some adjustments since the flared styles that are showing up everywhere really just don't look that good on me. So here's what I did...
I had problems with the weight of the yarn dragging things down and causing sagginess initially that I didn't like, so I held my breath and felted it. Just a little. And now I like it! Even though it's not as soft now, it's much more wearable for me.
