Dragging up an old post, sorry – I just wondered where you got your hands on the knit picks yarn…? Did you get it shipped to Ireland from somewhere?

You’re very brave… not because of any curse, but because that stockinette is going to go on FOREVER! Looks great though, good luck.

What? Won’t the recipient of the sweater hand wash it himself??? ;)

You’re very brave to begin a sweater! Plain is good for the first one, anyway; you can then use your lovely sale yarn to make a sweater that is more interesting.

I’m making EZ’s Seamless Hybrid right now too – also for the ‘boyfriend’. :) I find the bottom-up construction very odd, since I’m more used to the top-down construction. but it is fun to see how it all comes together, especially because the sleeves are 2 inches too short when you join them to the body – apparently its all supposed to balance at the end though!

I found that I had to make the sleeves narrower than the percentages given by EZ though, so I’ll be interested to see what you do!
