This is one of my first hand-stitched projects, completed in Fall of 2008. The bodice & sleeves are from a Textile Studio pattern, one with just a front, back, and raglan sleeve -- so easy to manipulate that I've probably made half a dozen garments based on that one pattern. I added the flared cuff and embellished them with circles cut out of an old t-shirt. I learned a good lesson about the weight of knits with this project, as the t-shirt I used was fairly lightweight and about 1/3 of the circles came off (partially or completely) in the wash. It won't take long to redo them, with deeper stitches, but for now it's getting nice & cozy in the mending pile.
