State of the Project: Wayne pullover, part I.

Remember how I received the yarn for the Wayne sweater and wrote that couldn't wait to cast it on?

Well... I couldn't. 

This is more or less two repeats of the main pattern. I have already used up one skein. Sari the designer was right when she wrote that the pattern is easy to remember, but I had to rip stitches on the first row a few times when I counted wrong. 

I have to say, I am really liking the colour and I think the pattern is still nicely visible and repetitive enough for the gradient to not distract from it.
