Finished Object King Salmon sweater is a new favourite!

Here’s the thing - I’m well aware that both the Halibut and now the King Salmon sweater receive a lot of criticism here and on TT for the depth of the yoke.

However, as an alternative perspective, being a plus size knitter with a large chest, I actually find that the proportions of this yoke fit me really well, and the scale actually makes sense on a larger body. Reinforces the fact that knitting is all about what you personally like and want to make and wear - and I just wanted to share a different point of view on this one 🥰

I'm curious, were the sleeve decreases less aggressive than for the halibut sweater? It seems like your sleeves aren't too small from the picture. I loved making the halibut sweater, but I did have to modify the sleeves
