Well, I finished my Debbie Bliss Sleeveless Crossover. Although I made gauge and followed the pattern exactly, it does not fit like the picture shows. It is way too short to be tied at the waist (it needs to be another 2-3" long to look like the picture), and the ribbed collar which took me 3 evenings to complete is so heavy that it pulls the sweater down my back. Looking back, I should have done the extra step of laying the measurements down on a sweater that I liked to see what the result would be. Also, I guess I should have figured that a ribbed collar in cotton yarn was going to be really heavy. Oh well, it's a learning experience and the yarn was on sale, so I'm not completely devastated.
