This is the sweater I’m test knitting for Laura Aylor. I believe she said the pattern should be available by the end of January. I probably should have chosen the smaller size but I started this on January 2, just the second day of my diet. Since most of my diets result in little to no weight loss, I went with the size that would have been snug on January 2 but then I lost enough weight that it’s kinda loose now. It isn’t overly baggy and I would prefer it to be a bit baggy than snug.

Everything is done but the sleeves and the blocking.

And though I didn’t show a lot of photos of me before, here’s one today. I still have at least 25 pounds I’d like to lose . . maybe 35, but I’m real happy with the results so far.

Tina in NJ says
Congrats on the success of the diet. The sweater looks swell, even without the rest of the sleeves. Maybe Laura should include a short-sleeve option in the pattern? It would be multi-season then.

The sweater and you look great!
Donna Williams says
Good job! Weight loss can be so hard, looks like you have found just the right way to eat for healthy you – so congratulations! And the sweater is awesome, too, of course. 😉
Peggy says
You and the sweater both look great. I think the fit is perfect. I’m older than you are, so some of my “parts” have dropped. I don’t like fitted things to show that. Keep up that new lifestyle that you and Vince have embraced.

Angie says
Your looking mighty slim there gal! —the sweater is very pretty too. Love the color!
Theresa says
You’ve done a great job on the sweater so far. I agree with the comments about having a short sleeve option when the author finishes the pattern. And I think if you lost 35 more pounds there would hardly be anything left of you!
Ruth says
You look great and so does the sweater! Great job!
Joanna says

Love the sweater and you certainly are a great looking model for it! I am so inspired by your new lifestyle or the major changes in what you eat! Thank you for sharing! It’s always good to know a personal opinion from someone actually following a new eating plan especially what the person doing it thinks & experiences. You go girl!
