IT'S DONE!!!! YAHOOOOOOOO!!! This poor yarn has been through many a trial and tribulation - I just couldn't decide what it needed to be! It has been 8 different sweaters - all ditched due to lack of the correct pattern. Finally, I found a sweater that did justice to the yarn. Sirdar Aran Denim yarn in beige with flecks of brown, black and grey. It is gorgeous yarn but alas it just needed the right venue to show off it's luciousness.
I have wanted a huge comfy warm sweater (this is way too big on me) with super long sleeves for Fall days just like today. It has a great kangaroo pocket in the front and the hood is just as warm as toast.
I will admit that at times I felt like I was knitting a tent - So much of the same color without fair isle or cables. I think that the finished sweater will serve me well on cold New Hampshire walks. What do you think?Pattern is from Book 2: The Purl Stitch by Sally Melville and is called the Kangaroo Duo. Easy to follow instructions with lots of options for sizing from little kids to size 2X.
Yarn Sirdar Denim Aran in color 0607
Size 6 needles (what was I thinking?)

That looks so comfy! Makes you want to put it on, flop down in front of the fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate (or hot tea if chocolate makes the migraine worse), and knit and snuggle.
I love it! Aren't hoodies great?
It's beautiful! It reminds me of the "Wonderful Wallaby" pattern that I have promised myself I am making soon! Maybe we can be "Hoodie Twins" (aka Girls in the Hood) :-)

It's gorgeous! It looks so very comfy. Love the simplicity. Size 6 isn't so bad. You're a pro! You handled it well!
Wonderful! Makes me warm just looking at it!
I love it! I'd be living in that sweater about now!!
