Hi Jenn,
That sweater is beautiful and I agree with Katherine, it wouldn't be that hard to do. I've done a lot of Mary Maxim and I looked at their other patterns on the site and if you can follow a chart, you could do it. If I still knit I sure would make it.
Hugs,
Nora
Alright...alright....I'll order the pattern if someone can suggest an inexpensive alternative yarn. Any ideas? I don't want to spend $65 and screw it up. hehe

Jenn,
What kind of yarn does it take? I just bought a bunch of Brown Sheep's Nature's Pride yesterday. Worsted weight, 245 yds for about $5 at my LYS. I'll be using it for their knit-along, my first adult-sized sweater (with a zipper - yikes!).

I emailed the site owners. They said it's made from Peace Fleece worsted weight yarn. It's a wool/mohair blend. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a wool/mohair blend that was a thick as say a Red Heart worsted weight. Could there be a difference? Has anyone ever used the Peace Fleece yarn?

I haven't used it but I have been seeing lots of references to it recently. Here is a link to their worsted weight yarn:
Wow! That was fast! I just got the pattern in the mail! Hmmm...charts...did it have to be charts? ;-)
No to find a yarn...

You know, I think that is why my NYCO is sitting in my knitting basket. THe pattern is all charted, and difficult to read. I need about two years of uninterrupted knitting time to work it out.
