This is a beautiful and comfortable sweater.  I've received a lot of compliments regarding the pretty color (lavender).  The knit is soft and luxurious.  The length of the body of the sweater is nice, too.

The sleeves are the highlight of this sweater; they are long enough that my elbows are completely covered, but not so long that I have to be careful not to get the sweater wet when washing my hands.  If you look at the picture, you can see that they flare out a little.  That makes the sweater much nicer to look at when it's being worn, and you don't feel like you've sprouted wings if you lift your arms up. The length also keeps my arms covered, so I'm warm when wearing the sweater.

The collar is a bit heavy (weight-wise) in proportion to the rest of the sweater. I find that I'm "fussing" with the color all day, trying to get it to look better.  (It seems the edges are always showing in the front.) On the other hand, because it's the type of collar that has a lot of fold and fabric, it never looks bad. Because of the collar, I've deducted a star from my rating.
