This is another success in the garment department!
It's a Knitting Pure and Simple pattern and is knit it one piece.
No sewing (well, just a couple of inches at the armpit).
The yarnis Noro is Silver Thaw, colour 13 and I took 10 balls. It's warm soft and a little bit fluffy and does interesting things with the colour all the way through. Needless to say it has been discontinued.
I've left the sleeves at three quarter length but other than that followed the pattern.
I shall wear this a lot (although horizontal stripes are not the best thing for a tummy unless you want to show it's full dimensions..).

I do love a a bargain, and this is a really good one.
Yarn was ordered online from 'Flying Fingers' of Tarrytown, New York just before Christmas to take advantage of their free worldwide delivery offer.
It arrived before the New Year complete with a free gift of 2 skeins of sparkley wool. Bear in mind that the Atlantic ocean lies between us.
So I have everything I need to begin 'Cafe Bastille' a big, thick aran.
The colour is called 'khaki', I'd say 'lichen' if it was down to me.
