Finished Cabled Spiral Pullover
Here's my Cabled Spiral Pullover finished. I have made some modifications to the body, but the yoke, turtleneck and sleeves are knitted exactly according to the pattern. I had no problems with the instructions or the chart. The yarn, however, wasn't the best choice for cabling. It's cashmere from Pinnsvindesign.
Edited to answer question about waist shaping: I wrote above that I have made "some modifications to the body", but that's an understatement! I have used a basic fitted sweater pattern from 1000 Sweaters by Amanda Griffiths, and knitted it a couple of sizes too small, to achieve negative ease.
I made a few false starts before I found the rights size and gauge, but once I reached the yoke it was smooth sailing. There are more posts in my blog, here, here and here.

Gorgeous!! Geat job. You should be very proud :) And in CASHMERE!
Looks like you added some waist shaping? I was bit put off from this one pattern, despite the beautiful yoke, because it looked at bit frunmpy in the midsection.
Wow it's lovely. I've been trying to join this KAL but have not received any response to my email... oh well.
