First MFA Sweater Completed

Yesterday I finished the first of hopefully many sweater designs to be offered through the store. This sweater is entirely my design (using two stitch patterns found in books) and made out of Goddess Yarns' Ellen, 55% cotton & 45% wool. It comes in a wonderful array of colors, is very soft, and is a pleasure to work with. I'm told that it's a very hard-wearing yarn as well. This was designed to fit me, so it's a large sweater. It took me one month to make, and required 17 balls of yarn (81 yds/ball) on size 8 needles. It has a 46" chest and a 26" length. I plan on using this sweater as a model to help sell the Ellen yarn (which I will be stocking in 16 colors) and I will be offering the pattern as an exlusive Marin Fiber Arts design. The challenge will be to convert the pattern to smaller sizes - I've never done that before!
