With the shorter sleeves that I opted for and the rather large neck opening (which is part of the pattern), it will be a summer sweater more than a winter thing. It is a pleasantly written pattern, and it was nice-ish to knit. Nice-ish only because I did discover that I don't care much for sweaters knit all in one piece; I find the huge chunk of stuff it becomes towards the end fairly cumbersome and annoying on the needles. So the next ones will definitely be knit in pieces again; I'll take the bit of seaming them up over handling a gazillion tons of wool on each round any day.
