Holy Cow, Cindy! (or should I say Bull?) That is an amazing sweater! So, uhh, is this the sweater with some of my yarn? Which colors are my yarns? I feel dumb, but I can't even remember which yarns you bought. I think this is what must happen when I spin way too much yarn...I lose some important part of my brain function...pls. remind me! :) Joanne
The majority of the yarn is yours. It's a burgundy. The darker burgundy is the Jo Sharp yarn and the brown is Cascade 220. I knew I wouldn't have enough of your yarn to make the sweater and the darker burgundy and brown blended so well with your yarn. I had to use 2 strands of the brown and darker burgundy to match the gauge of your burgundy. I used every scrap of your yarn too. I probably have less than a yard left over. It's a very, very warm sweater and fun to knit. I think I used size 15 needles. Cindy
I had seen this pattern and saved it -- for the future. lol Was it hard to do? I'm a beginner..... But I had been looking for a sweater to knit and when I saw this, I loved it. Wonderful! JoAnn

It wasn't hard. You start in the middle and knit a circle. I knitted the sleeves before the body because I wasn't sure I would have enough yarn. The body of the sweater was put on stitch holders to be completed after the sleeves. The sleeves are knit in the round. There was a small hole where the sleeves joined the sweater under the arm. This is normal. You just sew it u later. The sleeves are knitted in the round. I used the magic loop method but you could also use double points.
