Of the shrug on me. I haven't sewn the ends in yet but I will get round to it. The main problem I have with the size is I'm not sure if it's tight enough round the body, having said that if it were a normal cardi I wouldn't expect it to be too figure hugging. At first I thought the sleeves were too long as well but now I feel okay about them, I think that with the shape of them it actually looks quite nice with them long..jpg)
The fabric loosened up nicely after a quick wizz through some soapy water and rinsing. While I was knitting it it felt quite stiff, but it's actually draping quite nicely now and feels quite soft.I knitted it in some Rowan Tweedy stuff that I got at Stowe's of Sowerby for £1-00 a skein. It took two skeins and a bit (just over 200g). Used size 4.5mm circular bamboos and a set of 4.5mm bamboo DPNs to start it off on. The pattern was dead easy to follow (once I actually read it right) and quite quick once I got down to it. I liked knitting it.

I think that's the first "I Do" I've seen in green. I'm very into green at the moment. I wouldn't worry about it being more figure hugging. I think it looks fine as is and the shade of green's very nice.
It looks fantastic and I like the fit, no need to worry about that. I especially love the long, flared sleeves - excellent!
Like it!
I know someone who would wear it if you decide it's a wee bit big.
I love the flair at the bottom of the sleeve...nicely done!
It's wonderful - I keep looking at that pattern, thinking "Shall I? Shan't I?" You've convinced me.
It looks gorgeous! I think the fit looks fine. I really like the long, flared sleeves. A super job!
I think I'll add my name to the chorus of people telling you it fits just fine!
It really does look good. Wear it with pride.
It looks lovely and I love the flary sleeves even if I know they would be in every meal if I wore it!
