I made a sweater late last year, you can see it here. I liked it but it had issues v-neck I didn't like, body too short, sleeves too long so I decided to try it again while resolving the issues. This sweater which is the same pattern, has a crew neck. This sweater is longer and the sleeves are shorter.
It fits! I like it!
As far as issues - I wish the sleeves were 1/2 inch longer and the body was about an inch shorter! But it will be great to wear with jeans.
Our weather is turning much colder as I write this and I think I'll be wearing this sweater to a hockey game tomorrow.
That first sweater - the one with the v-neck - has been frogged that is knitter talk for torn apart. I like the yarn and will find a use for it, I'm sure!

That sweater is so nice. Will be great with a long-sleeve collared shirt (with cuffs turned back?). That is a favorite style of mine and, you are so right, will be great with jeans! Hugs.....
