I think I mentioned that I was on a quest to make a sweater that fit me. Well, at long last, the quest has ended. Here is the finished product, fresh off the needles and being blocked on the woolly board. This sweater was also a great learning experience. I'm glad I did it. Can't wait to wear it to school.

Fan-TAS-tic, Geoff! All the textures look great together. Is there a cable in collar, too? It might just be the picture, but it looks like a slight twist is going on there. Very striking.

Thanks! Yes there is a cable as a shoulder strap and it continues down the sleeve to the cuff.

Excellent work! How did you
Excellent work! How did you come up with gauge? What yarn is this, and what needles?
Thanks so
Thanks so much!
Hmmmm.....gauge. The evil gauge. I just followed the directions and knitted a swatch in the round. I lucked out, the gauge was correct the first time. The yarn is Cascade 220, Pumpkin Spice and I did it on US 6.

No better feeling than to proudly wear and exceptional looking sweater around people who know you knit to have them ask, "You didn't make that, did you?"
