Your diligence certainly paid off! I've just recently discovered S. Japel and all of her wonderful looking top down patterns. I have Angelica in my queue and can't wait to start it. Thanks for the tips on fit as I'm not a very experienced knitter and still learning something with every new project. Blessings, G Your jumper is lovely and appears to fit so very well. Your diligence certainly paid off!

I tried it on a sweater for my husband and you can't see the join; also no grafting at the underarms! I'm currently doing the top-down Francis Revisited sweater and rather enjoying it, although not too sure about sizing.

You might like the trick of skipping the ribbed hem and beginning at the stockinet portion with a provisional cast on so that you can come back at the end and knit down to the wanted length -- useful if you think you might run short of yarn, or if you just have my habit of underestimating the length of your torso.
