The more I look at the book, the more I’m sure it’s just the wrong size – there’s a lot of excess material around the armpits that I don’t see in naganasu’s, and the sleeves are really big. Thank goodness for Ravelry! :) If you need further convincing, I also love mimosa2007′s version.

That last picture of the seed stitch is very cool. I don't think I've ever seen it from that angle before - it looks like rows of tiny hills. Or a birds-eye-view of a crowd of people.

This is definitely going on my queue now. And the Darcy looks lovely too...
