This was my very first sweater top down and I found it to be rather easy. Sometimes the pattern directions were not too clear, but I had help from various people who helped along the way. I used Lion Brand's Cotton Ease yarn, which is a cotton blend. I was not too thrilled with the yarn but overall it performed rather well. The color is Hazelnut, which in some lightings will have a tinge of dark mossy coloring and other times it looks like army green. Interesting color which I came to love.
I did have some trouble picking up the stitches along the edging and color. Three time I had to start it and eventually found myself dropping from a needle size from #7 to #6. Finally the edging was neater than with the previous size of #7. The button I found in my stash of saved buttons and found the marbled effect to match nicely with the sweater's color.
I hope to wear my new sweater at Rhinebeck this year.
