Finished!
Yeay - just finished the Erika Knight Funnel neck sweater.
I really love this New Zealand wool too - it is going to be such a warm jumper.
I was too impatient and haven't blocked it yet.
14 ply and on 6mm needles, it came up so quickly :)
have a good weekend boys!
Paul

Thanks so much boys for all
Thanks so much boys for all the encouragement!
the Rib is actually a 3 / 2
The wool is "Naturelle" Chunky 14 ply - made by a company called 'naturally' in Auckland, New Zealand.
What Iliked most about it was the rugged nature of the yarn. It is soft but looks like it could be course. I thnk it is a very "blokey" jumper.
Paul :)

Oh my. I just wrote up a pattern for a sweater nearly identical to this: just change the size of the ribs and turn them into staggered twisted cables and you have my sweater design. I even have the same v stagger over the chest. Whoops. Just goes to show, there really isn't much that new under the sun.
You did beautiful work. It looks great.

Very nice, Paul. I really like the way the ribbing pattern blends so well into the neck. I may have to use it in a future project. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
