Notes

Photo taken in summer sunlight is accurate for colors. Photo taken in low winter light not accurate. Zauberflote is definitely not grey.
I forgot to weigh the yarn for this before I knit it although I did weigh the yarn for my kit, a size large.

Colors: Capercaille, Pebble Beach, Driftwood, Erica, Wild Orchid, and Limpet.

Note: I have had several people ask me about the sweater in the background with the interesting cuff pattern. Here is the information:
That is my husband holding my Zauberflote and he’s wearing one of his Dale of Norway, Nagano sweaters. I didn’t knit it since he informed me that was his very favorite DON sweater patterns and he wanted one in (almost) every color. :o)
