This is the first sweater that I knit for myself. I used Malabrigo Arroyo which was really nice to work with for two reasons. One: It is a really nice yarn- doesn't split and it is kettle dyed so it didn't pool in any way while I was knitting. Two: It is a sport weight yarn and has a lot of yarn in each ball- I used 3 balls up completely, and then finished the sleeve with the last one. One of the balls had a lot more gray in it than the others, but I used it for the smocked upper portion so it wasn't as noticeable. I think it turned out nice- maybe just a little too big- next time I"ll take a few more measurements of myself!
