I think it looks great. I think every woman in the world thinks their butt looks big when you only look at that part. I know I do. I'm not a particularly large person but I have much wider hips than top and actually a really thin material IMHO makes you look bigger if it clings. I'm glad you didn't rip. Now show us the whole sweater on you and I'll betcha you will be pleased in the morning.

The answer to your question is NO.

Nice ass (I stole that line from ann). Blocking will no doubt help the puckering if it's a small amount. It really looks great in the picture. You will surely be wearing a gold medal today!

Can't wait to see the rest of you in it! (I think brown was the most lovely main color choice!)

Oh, the sweater looks wonderful from this angle. I don't usually *look* at a sweater from this angle tho. Accoding to my monitor, your butt is unusually small - it's only 3 1/2 inches across. If I could hold the tape measure and hold the camera too I would prove it to you.

Any minor puckering will surely relax with blocking and wear. ( I can't even SEE any puckering in the pic, what I can see looks faboo!) The colors are gorgeous and the cabling is to die for. I really hope you haven't ripped!
Your butt looks fine, dahling! Worry not.

Nope. No. Absolutely not. In fact, I think the shaping is flattering, and the yarn change hits at a nice place on your hips.

I ma glad you didn't rip. As to puckering, it's VERY minor, and I bet it well relax in blocking. No one can pick up that many stitches without some uneveness.

Wonderful cables :) Can't wait to see the whole thing!

Oh yeah - John Corbett = YUM. But he's not going to act anymore? EEK.

I think it looks great Vicki and I don't see any puckering either.

No, but if you look at the photos on your next post you'll see that it flatters your front porch. That wide placket is a lovely touch.
