Thanks you guys!! 
Yes, surprisingly, maybe because I’m still new at it, but my hubby loves the fact that I’m addicted to knitting! You’re right mer, this pattern is definitely terrific! I love the yarn I picked too, and this is by far the best color ever! I 
orange!! That was half the reason I wanted to do this sweater, because the picture in the book was orange, and that’s what attracted me to it, so of course I had to have it in orange! Although Mer, I really like your color too. It makes the sweater look sleeker (is that a word?!) You can’t tell in the picture, but the yarn I used is fuzzy, so it’s more like a super cozy sweater!!
