Thanks,  She is a poser and loves the camera,  and always wants pictures taking when she has something new.

The only problem I had with it where the sleeves, it said to inc every 4 rows until you got to 85 stitches then work straight till 24 cm, the top was a good 3 cm short so I had to inc every 2 rows to get it bigger, then made them to big.

It was a very easy pattern to follow, and I think it was more to my guage being off.  I had already gone up a needle size and didn't want to go anymore as the knitting was starting  to go really baggy.  

I'm going to try making one in DK for a friend as I think it would work better with  a thicker yarn
