I'm not sure if I like it or not. I love the split hem cable and the cable along the armholes. I also did a cable on the hood and I'm not sure if it needs it? I'm also thinking maybe the sleeves need a cuff -- the cable? The sleeves fall about halfway between my elbow and wrist and are just reverse-SS. The body is a comfortable fit with drop shoulders which aren't really too floppy ... which is good.
The sweater needs blocking; the Simply Cotton, an organic cotton from KP, should soften after that first bath which will occur tomorrow.
So what do you think of this original design?
Happy knittin'

I like it. Like the cables on the hood. Think I would add a cabled cuff to the sleeves though - better to have full length sleeves on a cover up tupe garment?
Loved your Grand Central hat - planning to knit it for Tevye. Maybe for Christmas if I get through the rest of my Christmas knitting list.
Kathryn ... thanks for the comments ... I think I'm going to go ahead and redo the sleeves, making them fuller (dec every 8th instead of every 4th) and still 3/4 length with a fold-back cuff of the cable ...
