"Gorgeous sweater"
This is simply a lovely sweater! The colors glow! It looks as good in person as it does online. The fit is true to size and the quality is top notch. I would recommend this sweater and the artisan to anyone. Great over a pair of dress pants for work, or jeans for casual.

"Lots of complements"
Beautiful sweater. My only complaint is the obvious one--it is so beautiful that you can only wear it now and again because everyone who has seen it recognizes it.
