That is all knit colorwork.
The pattern really isn't all that tough it is a fairly short repeat that
starts off at 18 stitches and of course that repeat gets shorter as you
go up the yoke. I snagged it off an icelandic yarn site. It is meant to
be knit with lopi. I grew up knitting in swedish, so two strands in the
round seems pretty natural to me. It really is a pretty easy pattern.
here is no patterning on the sleeves, and they are just knit in not sewn,
so there is minimal shaping, no steeks, and it only has just the three
colors.

It is the sweater with horses.

Amazing horses on that sweater! Did you knit them in or embroider
afterwards? And tell DH we're waiting.... Roberta in D

I'm still here.
Like Roberta I'm still reading.
We seem to be mostly whittled down to just people who could quilt in
their sleep. In fact I am sure that I have, at least that is the best
explanation I have to offer for some of the quilts I have perpetrated.

Sandy I darn near took that knitting course myself. I wanted to see
what new and exciting things have come around since I tagged along with
my grandma to a "Knit and Crochet with Pearls" class at the Thule Lodge
when I was about 7.
Money is a bit tight here though so I passed on it.

Oh and hey, I finally got around to making a photobucket account. All
that is there right now is a picture of a sweater I made in acrylic for
a lady who does not fancy wool. I am hoping to get some quilts up, but
DH is my photographer and hasn't got around to it yet.

Like Roberta, I read everyday, not much to offer for information. And
sometimes my posts don't go through
