So, this was the sweater I was going to wear to Rhinebeck.  I never did get to Rhinebeck this year.  (Life took a turn.)  However, I heard it was super warm that weekend.  So, I don't think I would have worn it anyhow.  Or, maybe I would have.  And suffered through the heat. 😊  

I think this is a fantastic pattern.   It's a pretty mindless knit, only keeping track of increases that give the piece shape.  As far as the knit, I love how it isn't big and bulky.  And, it isn't too cape like.  Not that I don't like those types of patterns.  But this is more of a sweater.  And, sort of like a shawl.  You can leave it on as if it is a sweater.  Or take it off as if it's a wrap.  It's perfectly perfect in my eyes.

Unfortunately, I haven't worn this as much as I envisioned.  Not because I don't love it.  Because I do.  But because it is just so darn nice.  Truly.  The yarn is just so dreamy.  It's one of those sweaters (poncho's)  I am afraid to wear because I don't want to hurt it!  You know, I have a fear of getting a big red stain on it from a red sauce.  Or from red wine.  Have you ever made anything like that?  A sweater you fear to wear?    I have only ever made a few where I have this same feeling.  My Hanne Falkenberg sweaters are definitely in that category.  And this.  This falls into that same category.
