The yarn is very soft and very nice, and I also like the cable pattern, which is surprisingly hard to photograph. I still have a good long way to knit, though, before it will be finished...
Speaking of knitting, if you are looking for some inspiration, there's a nice and varied bundle of knitting patterns, called Spring Knits, available for 9.95 USD upwards from PatternChest. That's a new website, a spinoff from the Bundle of Holding, which sells bundles of roleplaying games.
You can pay the base price and get the basic bundle, or pay more than the threshold price (which gets adjusted on the basis of what people pay on average), and receive the basic bundle plus the bonus pack. Five percent of the price paid will get donated to a charity supporting healthcare workers, the rest of the payment is split up between the organisers and the designers.
