I enjoyed knitting this patterrn. I haven't done top-down set-in sleeves before but the construction is interesting and the pattern is really easy to follow. In fact the only criticism I have of the entire pattern is that the charts for the lace panel and the sleeve decoration are in a different PDF file from the rest of the pattern document. I tend not to print patterns out but rather read them using the Kindle app on the iPad, and that meant I had to keep closing one file and opening the other to go back and forth between the lace chart and the written instructions for the rest of the directions. In the end I just printed the one page (with the chart on it) and used the paper version of that alongside the electronic version of the rest of the pattern.
This has to be a record for me! One me-sized sweater finished in just over two weeks! Even with the extra length in the body, it used less than two skeins of Wollmeise DK and is ready to be worn for my trip to the Wollmeise shop later this month. Please excuse the rather grainy photograph. I was so excited at having finished and blocked it that I wanted to get a picture RIGHT NOW rather than wait until morning for some daylight. The photo had to be lightened up and cropped and it's blurred it a little but you definitely get the idea here.
