Yeah, it makes me look fat, just admit it. I did, which is why I took it out and re-knitted it into a fabulous sweater I'll actually wear! 
(Picassa has some fun filters to play with.) Vastly improved, no? The yarn is KnitPicks Merino Style on size 9s, and the pattern is a motified version of the Minisweater. Also, you may notice that I have a new hat!
The pattern is Grumperina's Odessa, in some soft yarn I can't remember the name of . . . Katmandu something? I used a size 6 circular, and probably should have gone down a size for the ribbing, but oh well. I love how the beads turned out, but man were they annoying to push down the yarn the entire time I was knitting this (you have to string them all on beforehand.)
