The pattern suggests using
- Blue Sky Alpaca Sport Weight (100% Alpaca, 110 yards/50grams) 1 skein each in Red #511, Turquoise #532, Paprika #531, Chartreuse #527, Purple #529 and Amber #519)
- US size 6 (4.00mm) and size 3 (3.25mm) needles. with a gauge of 5 stitches per inch on the size 6 needles.
I'm using US size 7 needles (4.5mm) and Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Terracotta, Lake, Taupe, Lime, Charcoal and Maize accordingly.
Wish me luck! :)

This sweater is zzzooming out of my hands!
I'm not spending too much time knitting, and I've already finished the back and some of the front. It's a matter of days.
Happppy!
I really loved picking the colours. It took me ages to find the combination I liked, and eventually I am not terribly pleased with the sequence I decided on (I mean, I think that the order of the stripes is not optimal, but the colours are really excellent) anyway, I decided to live with it and not fret over it. (Did I mention how much I hate unraveling?)
Youngling is sleeping, so I can go on knittin'!
