I've been hoping to take a more flattering front shot, but here goes:
To get a better idea of how the flaps fold, look here. The shaping of this sweater is just brilliant. The only seams to sew up were the underarm seams. The wool was wonderful to work with, and the colors are more vivid than these washed-out photos reveal. Plus, I have enough wool leftover for a hat, or maybe mittens. And while we've had warmer than usual weather lately, I was able to wear it a few times before having to fold it aside, ready for next fall. I will definitely knit another Falkenberg kit; maybe this one? Or this? Too many choices.Although, after seeing the Yarn Harlot's upcoming project, I'm drooling over this.
