My partner's Mum, W., is staying with us this month and since she is about two dress sizes smaller than me, I lost no time in coaxing her to model for me. Right after she put Negativium on I knew that it's going to stay hers.
On me, Negativium looks just about right. If I remember to hold my belly in and not to slouch, everything's fine, more or less.
When W. puts it on, she instantly looks stunning. The word here is EFFORTLESS.
Positive ease, that's the key.
In my defense, I had only limited amount of yarn for this design, so I had to be stingy with any extra fabric.
To tell you the truth, parting with Negativium didn't actually break my heart. I bought the yarn because I found a bargain too good to pass by and colours are not exactly mine. Plus, earning brownie points with (almost) mother-in-law is always a good thing :).
By the way, this time I managed to get a good shot from the back. Just in case you wondered why the pattern is called Negativium...
In other news, here's my puppy (she's nine months old, so technically still a puppy) sleeping on three paws for a pillow. I should've added a dog-shaming message saying I ATE THE FLOOR...
