110-23 Drops
This is the artistically named 110-23 sweater by DROPS. On the model, it looks like a lovely bell-shaped sweater. Bells work well on me in theory. I had high hopes.
But in practice, it is only rather meh. It is not bell-shaped; it is ball-shaped. It's an excellent writing-at-home sweater. I love that the yarn (Paton's Classic Merino) is soft enough to wear next to the skin, although I know it will inevitably pill awfully. I love the three wooden toggles I got at Lacis.
I love the detail at the yoke/neck:
But the rest, yeah, just okay. I wouldn't recommend the pattern, but if you're making it, you might as well finish. How's that for faint praise?
No - I LOVE it! I think it's very flattering on you also. I 'm going to Drops now to find it. I see what you mean about the not-ball-shape, but gosh, I just love it.
Thanks for putting it up so we can see what it really looks like. :0)

So after looking at the pattern no wonder you're underwhelmed. But I think yours is just terrific. I think I like it better. :0)
