Red & Silver Sweater
I made this sweater using this pattern and wool from Black Abbey yarns. (just skip the Flash intro to get to the good stuff). For the pattern, I put together some pieces from Alice Starmore's book of color knitting charts. The sweater mostly worked. Needles were size 9.
Couple comments: it's WAY too warm to wear here in San Francisco. I'll have to wait until July, when the fog comes in. It's a bit too small. This might be fixed with blocking, which I haven't done yet. And I made the sleeves too small at the end. While I do like tight sleeves, these are a bit too tight.
