Well, almost-I have underarms, some ends, a little Euclann bath and a big //holding my breath to see if it actually fits him// DH try on and photo session. Hope it all goes well. I gotta say, I really like it, now that it's done. Gosh, I hope it fits.
If you make this, the Cobblestone yoke is freakin' endless. I made it a little deeper than suggested for a guy, because guys need roomy pits. (Who knows why?) I made added the depth after the initial decreases, because I was really not sure I had enough yarn. Somehow, I haven't really mastered totally invisible wrap-and turns, and that bugs me. I modified the neck a little, because DH likes ribbing, and I don't like knitting garter in the round.
I used Tahki Lima and CTH laceweight. I tried out the wooden Options on this, and I liked them.

Good luck!! Will be checking Ravelry for more details. I am so glad it's over for you. Now something fun and quick?
I can't wait to see the entire sweater - I think it is a terrific design.
I'm oddly jealous too. My DH is one of those guys that runs hot and never wears sweaters, so I don't knit for him...
Your picture is a tease--but it does look good! I'll have to live vicariously through all of you Cobblestone knitters--there will be no men's XL sweater knitting in this house.
Nice score on the yarn!
About Penzey's--do you recommend any of the low/no sodium varieties?
I love what you are showing of it. Very nice interpretation!

I love the tease and the prospect of an '08 FO.
