Lauren’s “Frenchy” Blouse

“I chose this pattern because I like short sleeve sweaters and vintage ones at that! My favorite part of knitting it was that it was never boring, as I was rather new to process when I did it. It. I have since, completed many many Poison Grrls tops--all different. As this was my first one, and I've learned a lot since I created it, I plan to make it again very soon. The instructions were impeccable, and that's from the opinion of an English teacher. I believe whoever tested this was very articulate with questions because as I went through it, my questions were answered if I just trusted the process. I'm always learning new techniques, especially with Poison Grrls patterns. For this one it was the popcorning. Love it! So fun. The finished product turned out well, exactly how it should, but, as it was my first Poison Grrls sweater, I learned about my preferences as well. After making this sweater I always add two or 3 in of length to the bodies now. I would recommend this pattern to any knitter who is looking for a project that is never tedious or boring. Experience level-- intermediate or advanced beginner. You have to be willing to get frustrated and try that popcorn again when it's too loose. :)”
