I finished Ariann over President's Day weekend:
I love how it looks, I love the shaping, I love the yarn. I love that I taught myself how to crochet a chain for the belt! Baby steps on the crochet front ...
It's honestly not as flattering a fit on me as I would like, although I think it's flattering enough, and it's certainly comfortable:
If I did it over I would make the armholes one inch shallower. Although I have a long back-waist length for someone who's 5'3", I am short from chest to shoulder. Shirts routinely fit better if I have an inch removed; I only ever bother to do it with strappy dresses. But that's the big lesson I am taking from this pattern: pay attention to armhole length, and consider shortening it.
But I love it!

Wow, it's lovely! A great color for this time of year, as well.
I just popped over from the KIP list (yes, I am finally cleaning out my email box) and this was a treat to see.
