I'll queue it in Ravelry one day soon. I think this is such a darling pattern…and it has a retro, 1920s vibe about it that looks very contemporary. I’ll queue it in Ravelry one day soon.

I do find that many modern designs are meant for perhaps a less "mature" body. I do love many of these designs but don't want to wear my clothes as tight as someone 20-30 years younger than myself. I have always had trouble with biceps on most clothing being too snug. Thank you thank you thank you for making a smart, modern design available for more people.

Amy Herzog is truly an inspiration! I'm also very tall, and tend to design things on the long side as a result (sweaters, gloves, socks etc). My earlier designs have not been so accommodating to those who want to shorten; I've really made an effort to include these kind of options in my more recent designs. Thanks Cambria!

I love Amy Herzog's designs. She inspires me as I struggle to create a pattern line for my own little end of the neglected-sizes world :) I am not a plus size, but I'm extremely tall and after years of knitting patterns that didn't fit in the sleeves or were too short in the body or had incorrect decrease placement, I started working on patterns that addressed the needs of tall knitters as well (my first design is in the editing phase right now! lol). It's difficult, and I admire what Amy has done for plus size designs, and I admire you for adding more plus sizes to your current design. Hi Alexis!

This mod will take about 3.5" off of the length. If you want it even shorter than that, follow the directions above, but skip ahead when you get to row 79 (or 73 for the plus size version) to row 109 (103) of the pattern. This will take about 5" out of the length. Please let me know how it goes. I love getting feedback! No prob Tayler! This mod will take about 3.5″ off of the length.

I'm certainly not tall and this makes me much more comfortable about the project. One question though. About how long will the sweater be after the modification? I guess I could do the math myself, but maybe you already have an idea off hand. Thank you! Thank you for the mod! I’m certainly not tall and this makes me much more comfortable about the project.
