Remember your voting on a yarn color for my Olivier pullover? The sweater is finished and I knew you'd all want to see it. It was very cold during the photo shoot...not to much hanging around for retakes.
Actually, it's been done for a week but had to wait for it's turn in the blog rota. So, I've been wearing it to keep warm in our deep freeze this past couple of days. I can report that it's warm, comfy and the yarn is so soft. And I had enough left to make a hat and neck warmer.
I love the cables and the collar. There are also fake elbow patches but I'm not so crazy about those. My elbows must be stuck in the wrong place - the patches are nowhere near them. Not too hard, though, I could be tempted to make another.
Thanks, everyone, for choosing this color. It's perfect.

I looks great. I love the ribbing at the side seam and how they angle together.
Gorgeous sweater - and the colour really suits you. You look great in it.
It's beautiful, I love the collar and the variation in the stitching on the front! Now you are making me want to see those elbow patches!
Once again, I stand in awe of your talent with sticks and string. Your work is outstanding and the color looks perfect on you.
I hope it keeps you cozy during your deep freeze.
It's wonderful, I too am in awe of your knitting skills, it looks just perfect.
And finished just in time for the cold spell!
It really looks good on you. I was thinking about your sweater yesterday. This cold snap is a bit much.
I like that, I even like the colour, it suits you, well done....
