Here are the details.
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool in Plum Heather, 4 skeins (approx. 900 yards)
Needles: US7 circular (body) and dpns (sleeves)
Verdict: LOVE! I will definitely be making another one soon, since N has requested her own.
It was so fun to knit, and it never got so heavy that I couldn't cart it along to the library in the bag with all my books and notebooks. The lace pattern was easy to memorize, and it was easy to figure out what row to work even if I put the thing down for a day or two. One of the best features, in my opinion, is the minimal finishing required. The garter stitch looks crisp without blocking, too, so all I had to do was weave in ends and put the thing on.
Here's one last picture of my goofy dancing/new sweater joy!
Happy Sunday and happy knitting!
