Finally done!
Specs:
Pattern: The imaginatively named "Cabled Turtleneck" from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2006. Apparently the designer is "Lang designs". I wonder in what circumstances the actual human designer doesn't get to be named. Did it really take a whole team of designers to come up with this sweater? Is there a ghost designer?
Yarn: Cascade 220 heather, in Lichen. Just under 6 skeins.
Needles: Size 6 and 7 denises
Mods: Made it a crewneck instead of a turtleneck
Started Jan 2007, finished July 20 2007. Ouch. Moral of the story, maybe I should pick sweaters with less seaming in the future.
Some more pics
Ta-da!

Sweater came out gorgeous and looks very impressive. See, you can't stay cranky for very long when you're wearing something you made yourself and that looks absolutely fabulous on you. That's a smile in the last picture, yes it is.
gorgeous, dahling, simply gorgeous. Glad to know the re-knitting wasn't too bad. Gives me hope, as almost everything I knit comes out too short -- I hate that! As for the designer "thing", I have often wondered what causes these poor designers to give up their names. I mean, seriously, look at the Drops Designs -- all those free patterns, all so beautiful, and no one knows who designed them! I imagine a sweatshop full of crazed knitters w/ pencils and notebooks in front of them with some mean and nasty with a cigar hangin from his/HER mouth glaring at them. shudder.
You are so right! Did it really take a team to design that sweater?
Then again, it is so beautiful on you, it just may have been more than one great mind designing.
Well well done. Very nice
Great work! The fit is perfect and the color really suits you.
Congratulations! This is a beauty...you could win the rosette at your local fair! It is stunning!
How did I miss this? It looks fantastic, totally worth all that unpicking and knitting again to lengthen.
Wow, I was just found your blog and was kind of reading backwards through it and this just stopped me dead in my tracks. Absolutely gorgeous! Lovely sweater, nice work.
