It was a knit-free summer because of some repetitive strain pain in my hands and wrists, but things have settled down a bit and I decided that
Expedition (Ravelry link) would be the perfect pattern for the yarn I had spun up from one of my alpaca fleeces and the shetland fleece I got last year at Rhinebeck. It's been a really fast project so far, which is unusual for me.
Tonight I should finish up the left front, do the three needle bind off for the left shoulder, and then move on to collar or sleeves. It would be nice to have this done in time for Rhinebeck, but I have other things on my plate that will likely take precedence, so I'm not exactly counting on it.

It looks great. And alpaca/shetland will be toasty warm.
That's a nice looking sweater!
Ooh, you're speeding right along. I just finished up my fronts last night and then wore it like a vest for a while, haha.
Gorgeous! Love the pattern, love your version of it!

OMGAWDERCOPTERZ! You and VUBOQ are so talented! I wish I could make cute scarveza and hatz and mittenz and other cute wintertime accessories!
Looks like your knit-free summer did the trick. That's some speedy sweater progress!! And it looks great, too.
