My yarn from Webs arrived on Wednesday, and I pretty much went right to work.

I really needed those extra balls of yarn. I ended up picking up on the bottom and adding another two inches (it looked like a crop top before I did).






Please excuse the feet.


This is the Soccer Mom Sweater from the Yarn Girl's Guide to Beyond the Basics with Filatura di Crosa Super Soft in color 6.

I changed the pattern around a little. In addition to using a different yarn (I loved using this yarn; I kept making Phil look at it and touch it, but I don't think he loved it as much), I used only 15s instead of 17s and I ribbed it rather than using st st. I made the small with the medium sleeves (so the ribbing wouldn't impact the fit), and, as I said, I added to the bottom.

You can imagine how poofy it would be without the ribbing, since it still poofs a little with it, as you can see. Overall I love it and I am so glad I made it.

PS-The sweater isn't crooked-I am. I just realized how obvious my crookedness (in a purely physical sense) is in that picture.
