Hello group!
I am looking forward to knitting this sweater with all of you! I love this pattern and can't wait to get started! I think I'm going to use the Tahki Donegal Tweed in the color 815, which is a Navy Blue with light blue tweeded in. I have one skein of that on hand, and plan to swatch it and make sure I like the color before I purchase the yarn for the sweater.
One question, since so many of you are well into your sweater knitting: has anyone used circular needles to knit the whole body at once? If so, how has that been working for you? I REALLY hate sewing seams, so I'm considering knitting the body in one piece.
Thanks for all your beautiful pictures, and I'm looking forward to sharing everyone's progress.
Cheers,
Sierra in Colorado

Cara at "January One" did hers this way. Check out: http://www.januaryone.com/archives/2007/02/i_believe.php
I also knit mine in one big piece. Technically twice, though one hasn't been totally completed yet. If I make another, I'll do it in one piece again for sure!
Hello there, I also knitted mine as one piece. This was my first sweater and it was easier than I ever thought it would be. When you start pay attention to the ribbing. When you knit in one pc. you don't need the k2 on a side panel to meet up with a k2 when you start the back panel. Make sure to read the whole pattern and map it out before knitting. It definintly makes a difference. Trust me, I know. I had to frog it once.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. Thanks, Amy
