Specs:
Pattern: Fair Isle U-Neck from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2006
Yarn: Knit Picks Elegance
Time to complete: October 2006-March 2007
Things I'd change: The sleeves. I hate them. They're way too loose and baggy compared to the body. I'd also change that, too. The body's about 2 inches too big.
Despite what my "what I'd change" list says, I really do like the way the sweater turned out. The yarn is wonderful, very soft and smooth against the skin. The colours worked out alright as well.
When I make a second one (yes, I will! and I already have the yarn for it!) it's going to be smaller, and the sleeves will be 3/4 length instead of full-length.
This second photo shows the colours a bit better.

I saw this over on the Fair-Isle Forever blog too! It's really great looking. I love the colors and the U-neck.
Thanks :) Yeah, this one's actually been triple-posted!
Wow, that's incredible. I'm a fairly inexperienced knitter, and I am in awe of your skill!
