It is the short Row striped sweater from the Fall 2003 Interweave Knits.  I used Dalegarn Heilo.

Once again.  Horrifying picture (shudder)

I love it!  What a creative use of short rows!

I really liked that sweater in the Interweave magazine and I'm happy to see one in real life and in different colors. Thanks for sharing!! Now maybe I'll bump it up on the wish list!

of course I have an orange room!  My house is a total backlash against being a renter for 5 years.  The kitchen is as pictured (complete w/pink appliances).  The rest of the house is a modge podge of bright greens, deep blues, and orange orange orange.

That is AWESOME!   Which IWKnits was that in?

Fall 2003. 

It was the very first sweater I ever saw that made me drooly.  I lacked confidence in my skills at the time, but bought the yarn anyway and have been waiting for the courage.  I finally cleared my list of must-do projects and was able to devote the couple of weeks necessary to get this baby together!
