Well, it's been one year and one month since I started and a few weeks since I finished this. I used Lamb's Pride worsted weight and it's either Brown Bear, Chocolate Souffle or Roasted Coffee, I'm not sure. I also used Oatmeal for the stripes around the collar and cuffs. I'm enjoying wearing it!

Great job. Your choice of

Great job. Your choice of accent color around the bands enhances it even more. I like the whole idea of the sweater. When I did mine last year, I made the mistake of following the sizing too closely. Hence, my sweater is a bit too large for my frame. I used the Drops Alpaca Tweed and like that part very much. At some point I do plan to make the sweater again, as I like the no nonsence concept of it. However, I will definitely resize it. Live and learn. Your fit looks terrific. Enjoy.

This is another one of those projects in my que. I just hate big projects - I become bored too easily, but your execution of that pattern makes it so tempting. I love the accent rows!
