Adrienne is one of JBW's customers and she did a fabulous job knitting up this sweater using Lorna's Laces Worsted February Limited Edition in color Simply the Blues. She reported to us that she knit up an XS using a US 10.5 and US 11 and claims to be a tight knitter, the pattern calls for US 8 and US 10 needles, so a gauge swatch works! Great job Adrienne - the sweater is beautiful!
