Finished Second 2012 Goal - Sweater

I'm on a roll now - only 4 months into the year and finished two of my 2012 goals.  I started this sweater back in 2010 with yarn I purchased on my first trip to Chicago.


I am notorious for not buying enough yarn for a sweater so of course, I needed more yarn.  I searched around to no avail for quite a while but finally I was able to buy a couple of more skeins on a visit to Colorado.  I also was able to pick up another skein from a Raveler in San Francisco.


There a quite a few modifications that I made to fit over my big arms and I made the sweater quite a bit longer.  It is soft and squishy and I can see myself wearing this around the house.

The variegation is cool but the colors of the different skeins are a bit different so at certain areas of the sweater, the color shading is a bit different.  I think I should have used a different looser bind off on the front as it does curl up a bit but I have no more yarn!
