Darrin's Aran Sweater


This sweater is from Knitting the New Classics by Kristin Nicholas. It is called Plaits, Knots & Crosses. The yarn I am using is Cascade220 Superwash (color 1918 shire). I am liking it a lot now but at first was a little unsure of the color. Now that I am about a quarter done with the back I think it may be a little snug. It is measuring small. I think I will try to sneak in some increases and I work my way up. For now I am stopping the back and starting the front. I want to be absolutely sure of the fit before I continue up the back. Here's a picture of my work in progress.
