The body is finished on my Boatneck Bluebell. I decided to finish the hem with only one purl ridge instead of three. It may end up curling more, but I felt that it was long enough already.
For the sleeves, I went down only one needle size for the ribbing (to size 7), and I’m omitting the increases because I don’t want super-flared sleeves. Here’s what I have so far.
This Malabrigo is so warm and cozy, I wish I could just keep the sweater on while finishing the sleeves! In fact, I’m still wearing it as I upload photos and type this. Haha..

Love it, Pam! I had two skeins of Brown Berries a year or so ago that I traded away because I had nothing planned for it. I bought it at WEBS right when Malabrigo came into stock, and I just held onto it. I love the way it looks in that sweater!

Beautiful! How do you like the fitted sleeves? Are they comfortable?

that is looking really good, I just started mine in a variegated wool. Hopefully it will turn out as well as yours.
