Notes

I used 14.5 skeins grey, 2 of the yellow.

Norwegian pattern here.

Errata for size large:

(Or rather what I did to make the pattern work)

Decrease to 360, not 356 after putting sleeves and body on one needle. This will make the pattern repeat 20 times.

That will make the stitch count for the decreases as follows:

320 (322)
280 (288)
240 (254)
200 (220)
160 (186)
140 (169)

Skip the next decrease, and only do the last one after the short rows. (I only decreased to 120 stitches, since that worked out better with the count).

Notes

No end of problems. Ordered too little of the MC yarn. Got more, it is in another dye lot, but will work out.

I started knitting pattern, but the CC yarn did not have enough of a contrast compared to the MC, so will have to try another colour. (Colourways 16 and 39 does not work together in stranded knitting, I think they would be lovely as stripes though).

I now have lovely mustard yellow yarn, and knitting continues. I switched dye lots of the MC after the first pattern row, so that it came after a yellow line.

Most of this was knitted in two weeks, so a rather fast knit, or the fact that I am unemployed factored into it.

Since my body has very little waist shaping, I decided that my sweater did not get any either.
