"Love it"
I love the softness, warmth, design, color and fit of this. I used to knit a lot, and can confirm that this is high-quality work. My favorite sweater. I'm 5'5 and 125-130 lbs and the medium was a perfect relaxed fit which is what I prefer..

"Colors more subdued than pictured."
Love the craftsmanship, but I thought I was purchasing a sweater with turquoise in the pattern. The colors are more on the muted side, more heathered rather than crisp. The sleeves are a full 2 inches longer than I expected based on an earlier purchase, so the detail on the sleeves will be lost, as they will need to be rolled under.

"just OK"
Just OK, I was hoping for much bulky sweater this is very thin. Also this is not hand made but machine made ....The design is nice and the sweater is much prettier in the catalog. Still ... deciding possible return.
