Carla

This was an amazingly quick knit. The cotton tape was softer than I thought it would be, but snagged easily, which made seaming difficult. The sweater turned out a little too big (despite me knitting it smaller and shorter than I thought it should be, as recommended), so I put it in the washing machine (in a zippered pillowcase) and laid it out flat to dry, which tightened it up.
