I tried to update before I left, but Blogger was down. Finally, it let me create a post and then proceeded to eat it. Anyhoo......
The sweater is done!
I really like it! It's very warm and bulky. The pattern was easy and it's a very fast knit! I still have to block it, but if it gets cold enough, I will wear it soon. However, I may take out the hem, I'm not completely happy with it.
Progress on the STR socks. They're turning out nice. Now to figure out that afterthought heel.....
Here's a close picture of the stitch pattern and the yarn:
Tomorrow I'll show you the scarf/shawl I made at the knitting retreat. (and the sock, and the other sock I started, etc.) I even tried spinning, (very large emphasis on tried), but.............I suck! sigh....

I love the sweater, think you picked great colors. Thanks again for your help on clarifying the pattern. I just started spinning last week and thought I could never get it, but finally someone showed me some trick with my thumbs and I've sorta got (well I mean I can spin with out it breaking or twisting up all crazy)!
The sweater and the sock both look great! I'll be curious to hear how you like an afterthought heel. I haven't tried one yet. Is that garter rib on the sock? I am using that same stitch right now on a new pair I just started.
What's the colorway?
