Two Sweaters From the Same Pattern

Hello everyone out in the blogosphere! For some reason, I haven't posted anything in awhile and I'm not sure why. Knitting has been happenning and I finished two sweaters from the same pattern. The pattern is Temporal, and I liked the first one well enough to try it again. Also, I made the first one a little too big because I managed to cast on more stitches for the front than the back. This teaches me to always do a stitch count after the first two rows just to check. The pink sweater below is the first one. Both of these are done with the same yarn but in different colors. The yarn is Cloudborn superwash merino DK and I really like it but it's discontinued.

The second version is in a deep red color. In addition to making it a little smaller, I also changed the shaping to a standard waist shaping. The pattern originally calls for a slight widening from hem to bust line. The smaller size does make it a little slimmer but since this is really a sweater that fits with some ease, I don't mind the larger pink one. For both of these, I shaped the front neckline a bit to dip a little lower since I don't like necklines right against my throat.

The pattern calls for a cotton yarn but I decided I wanted something warmer that I can wear over thin tops for cooler weather. I should get some good wear out of these until next summer.
