I saw this pattern and was in love with it for weeks before I dared to buy and try it. It's for my 1.80cm/6'0 tall aunt, fitting it on myself even though she's a bit taller than me.
I'm in love with the elegant and clean structure of that piece. I learned how to do v-stitch and ltr-stitch for this project and definitely faced a number of challenges since it's a bit advanced.
Currently, I'm fiddling with the first sleeve (safetypins for now) so that I can see what's the right length for the sleeves and whether the pattern works out at all. There were some problems (did i get it wrong?), but I figured it out. Just don't sew anything together before fitting it with safety pins. It can prevent a lot of frustration.
Update: It's done. I worked on it in 6 countries & used more than 1000 yards of yarn. And 6'0/1,80m tall auntie loves her new cardi with plenty of room for her shoulders.
