Poetry in Stitches--Nice and EZ

This sweater began as a Poetry in Stitches kit for a drop-shouldered cardigan, but due to my fear of steeking and inability to produce a cardigan that stays buttoned, I turned it into an EZ yoke sweater, using her pattern for a child with a 26" chest.

I love how it turned out. If I had it all to do over again, I would have paid more attention to just where I was putting those short rows at the neck, so that the beginning of the row (and the obvious color jog) would be at the back left shoulder instead of front right.

    Beautiful! That looks like one of those sweaters that people won't believe is hand made.
