I met my self-imposed deadline of October 1st and finished Mr. Kate’s sweater with one day to spare! The fit is great and he has worn it almost every day since – it’s a hit.
To recap, this is Beagle, by Norah Gaughan. The yarn is Berroco Vintage Wool, a lovely blend that I am very pleased with. It is much thinner than it looks, as it is a lofty yarn. Warm and cozy, too. He even chose the colourway from the model, aptly named Cracked Pepper.
The best part is now I can knit more than one project at a time again!
Wonderful sweater and it fits him perfectly. Job well done!

[…] for his birthday. This was knit from Berocco Vintage (love this yarn, used it for Mr. Kate’s grey Beagle sweater) and was a pattern from Veronik Avery’s book Knitting Classic Style. A very easy to follow […]
