I bought six skeins of Cascade 220 in charcoal gray (What an unimaginative name! How about Stone Cottage?) around Thanksgiving. I knew that I wanted the yarn to become a sweater, but wasn't sure what pattern to use. I was tooling around on the internet on Friday night (freshly off the glow of finishing my Audry Hat) and spotted the Neckdown Boat Neck Pullover. I cast on at soon as the pattern printed and was able to finish all of the neckline ribbing before I fell asleep. I divided for the sleeves on Sunday afternoon and now only have about six inches left before I cast off the body! I can't believe it!
I'm reading a few books currently (most notably, The Scent of Holiness), but am listening to the Serial Podcast at night while I knit.
Edited to Add: If you read an earlier version of this Yarn Along (or came across it when it looked a bit crazy with huge pictures and no text), I apologize. I was adding a photograph with my phone and accidentally deleted the content of the post and had to re-create it. So sorry about that!

It is coming along so quickly. :) Such a beautiful color too.
I love the colour too, and the pattern. I can't believe you can knit so quickly.
I bought the same exact yarn to make my husband a sweater vest and I'm just loving it! You are right, stone cottage is a much better name :-).
wow! how beautiful and quickly you are doing this sweater! why not call it your stone cottage sweater, sounds reasonable to me! I hope you are liking the Scent of Holiness! It's such a loving read!!!
