Simple Knitted Bodice

I've finished arguably my favorite sweater I've ever knit, the Simple Knitted Bodice by Stefanie Japel. I used 13 balls of Berroco Ultra Silk, and lengthened the torso quite a bit. For the sleeves I did 3 repeats of the lace pattern instead of 6. I did the full four purl ridge repeats the pattern called for along the neckline and am pleased with the higher V. It makes it more wearable, at least for me. The yarn is so soft and the color is really saturated. I can't get over what a great pattern this is. I highly recommend it.

Wow...this is such a beautiful sweater. I may have to look into this one for a project in the spring.

That is one gorgeous top! The yarn shows the stitch detail beautifully.
