Simple Knitted Bodice

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog lately. And have. I have been too busy knitting this amazing sweater (Stefanie Japel's Simple Knitted Bodice from Stitch Diva). The above photo, a detail of the chevron lace inset from the main body, hardly shows the progress I have done on this. The body is completely done and the left sleeve is on it's lace inset already.

I am using Berroco Comfort, a blend of superfine acrylic and superfine nylon, in the color Beet Root - it's a lot darker than my photo would lead you to believe, but not quite as dark as their shade card.

I am usually a bit of a fiber snob, tending to find acrylics unsuitable for my tastes, but this yarn is just amazing. I can only hope that it holds up to a lot of wear and washing, because I think this sweater will easily become one of my favorite garments.
