Had to amend my original review, as the experience turned from somewhat pleasant to absolute nightmare...

Received the sweater, and it certainly is drop-dead gorgeous. It was just what I wanted. The only initial issue I had with it was that it had what I'd call a "medicinal" smell to it, reminding me a hospital emergency room. No big deal, since the care instructions said to Hand Wash in Cool Water, and reshape while damp.

Well, I *did* just that, and the sweater shrunk to the point that it *might* fit a teenager. No amount to pulling on it to try to stretch it out would work. Looks like it will end up with the Salvation Army! And the shrinkage was so bad, the button hole have practically sealed themselves, and there's no way the buttons can now fit through.
