Finished!
I finished this for Helen yesterday afternoon and she seems pretty pleased with it. It's not often that she asks me to knit for her so I know that she'll wear this one!
Pattern from Hipknits; yarn - not quite 2 x 75gm skeins of 100% Cashmere
If I make this again, I'll tweak the pattern a bit as it seemed a little vague in a lot of places. It could have done with a few more shapings here and there to make sure that the sleeves fitted a little better when it came to sewing up, and the final project feels unfinished to me - perhaps a crocheted edging around the back of the neck.
I adapted the decreases on the fronts so that I always decreased one stitch in and also knitted two together though the back of the stiches on one side so that the decreases were pointing in the right way! I'm a bit AR when it comes to things like this, but like to see things finished properly.

Ah now there's one Holly would like ,lovely colours too.
It's VERY pretty! So satisfying when a request turns out so good. Big round of applause to you!! :)
I know what you mean about the neckline, I would do a little edging, but that's just me, I can't stand to see an unfinished neck.
