I used to work as a morning news paper distributor. I was out in the middle of the night and everything was dark. A black and white world. When I made this sweater I was thinking about those dark nights.

~ This sweater is worked from the top down, seamlessly. The sleeves sts are put on hold while the body is finished and then returned to the needle.

~The beauty of a top-down sweater is trying it on as you go.

~You can, of course, modify the sweater to have any length of the body or sleeves as you wish. Do take into account that modifications will affect the yardage required.
