Mine also came out very short and its quite sad considering how pretty the pictured one is.

Not quite there

So, I made this the other day and it's not quite right. I used the right hook, the right weight yarn, and it turned out shorter than it looks. In the picture it comes down to the bottom of the hip, in reality it came down to the top of my hip. Not quite long enough to get the full effect. I do plan on taking it all apart, like I did with last magazines sweater, to make it right.
