I'm Holly, I live in Palo Alto CA, and I've been knitting for a4A for several years - even packed boxes in the basement once. I started out as a novice knitter but have "perfected" the basic top down sock by sending off at least a dozen pairs to warm Afghani feet. I've been lurking on this blog for a long time, but joined so I could post this sweater I dropped off last week (yep, that's me) which is from a super easy pattern I highly recommend. (It's the Torino Bulky Circular Pullover - free at www.tahkistacycharles.com.) It's bulky yarn on #10s, too warm for California! Now, what to start on next . . .
Happy New Year

Hi, Holly, nice to see you. That does look like a really cozy sweater. I am sure that it will be well received. Judy
Welcome, Holly. What a great sweater. I love how you repeated the stripes in the yoke, sleeves and waist. Isn't it nice to knit up thick warm wool? Here in Colorado, it's warm enough but folks want washable synthetics. Not so nice to knit with.
Beautiful sweater! Thanks for sharing the link for the pattern.
Kathy, the yarn was a bag of 10 skeins of solid black which I bought at an estate sale for $2.00 total. I couldn't see knitting a solid black anything, so I got some lt. gray tweedy Lopi to provide relief. Stripes are what people who haven't tried mosaic or stranded knitting do :-)
