I made the sweater too big because I wanted it loose and sloppy for Ben to grow into. It did however turn out a little MORE too big than I planned. The stranded knitting and attempt at sizing were a la Zimmerman. My son is thrilled with my first ever sweater. I am just glad its finally done!;oD
Thanks !!!! I washed it today and threw it in the dryer on ultra low (gasp!!) to hasten the whole drying thing (did not dry it completely). It fluffed up a lot, lost a fair amount of loose fibre (and cat hair), and is unbelieveably soft!!! Berroco Ultra Alpaca is fab!
