I love the pattern, though so when the weather gets warmer, I think I'll try again. Your ghetto knitter comments are hilarious! I just finished a sweater with wool-ease.

Now you'll have to excuse me, but I'm off to go snag a Knitpicks discount code from an IK I did not purchase. When I'm done, I'll get busy throwing some ack-rylic yarn! (Ahem. I must admit an addiction to Addi needles, though. But, in the spirit of true ghetto knitters, I learned to do the "magic loop" method so that I only had to buy one Addi in each needle size, all with 40" cords :))<BR/><BR/>And, congrats on finishing your semester!
