Started this two years ago, and got derailed by large blanket projects.

I rated this pattern medium, not because it is technically difficult, just that the size is a challenge.

I can’t say enough good things about Brigantia yarn--it is perfect for sweaters--amazing stitch definition, beautiful texture, and wears very well. Jen’s dyeing is extraordinarily beautiful with great depth of color.

In hindsight, I wish that I had decreased more stitches in the large front cables before starting the hem--but it is a minor quibble and there is no way in the world I am going to pull out the thousands of stitches in the hem to change it. No way. Not ever.

P.S. My husband, who is usually not very effusive about my knitting, volunteered that this was the nicest thing I ever knit.
