The yarn is Trend Collection Linie. I purchased 8 100 gram (approx 166 meter) skeins. I appear to be a "prepared" knitter as I have a skein and some left over. The yarn is a fairly heavy cotton with a little bit of a sheen to it. It is not as splitty as some cotton yarns, but still has that annoying tendency.
The pattern is the Hooded Pullover with Two Sided Frost Flowers from the Spring/Summer 2005 Vogue Knitting.
It took me just under three weeks to complete. The most complex part of the pattern is in the switch from the right side to the left side of the front as it is knit in one piece. It took a few trys, but once I figured that out it was smooth sailing!
And just in case you wanted to see it again....

I love that pattern and am happy to see it 'in real life!' What a beauty!
I also meant to comment on your Curious George Altoid tin [from your last post]...I have one too and use it to store my knitting goodies!
Thank you so much!
I do love my Curious George Altiod tin too! I only saw them for sale once, long before I started knitting... When I found I needed a little tin to put stitch markers, pins and tapestry needles in it fit the bill perfectly. Is your tin just the same as mine? Have you ever seen any others like them? Just curious!
Thanks for the details. I liked this pattern a lot and wish I had time to knit it, along with every other cool pattern in the world.
Extra yarn always comes in handy!
