Well, I cast on. Love the yarn, have to get a picture of it. The ribbing is kind of cool, it extends all the way up the sweater. It immediately has waist shaping included , which I like, it could be left out if one doesn't care for it.

Of course Max had to try and steal the yarn, pulled about twenty stitches off the needles. Thank goodness it wasn't on a cable row.

The pattern is pretty easy, had to enlarge a copy of the charts, the eyes aren't what they once were. Reading glasses? umm, had Lasik done 2 years ago and dread putting any type of glasses back on. When I can't see the stitches any more I may give in.
