Giselle Sweater

I havedecided recently that it is about time I knitted something for myself, and after a visit to Abahkan in Manchester I couldn't resist this Sirdar Giselle Aran Yarn that was on sale. I bought 13 50g balls for £19.50, plus the pattern book.

This is the jumper with cabled sleeves that I am knitting. 

and my progress so far is looking pretty good even if i do say so myself. I am knitting the jumper slightly longer than in the pattern. I will probsbly have to wear a long sleeve t shirt underneath it as the copper metallic thread running through the yarn is slightly scratchy.
