I generally love Norah Gaughan's patterns.
This one is no exception:
Yes, it's Kenobi! All finished, all put together. It took just over 10 balls of the Berroco Ultra Alpaca for the whole thing (it's knit with worsted-weight yarn held doubled).
And another view:
It's very warm and is quite heavy (well, you'd expect that - all that alpaca and knit at essentially a bulky gauge). I love the idea of the "strips" of different textures on it; that took what would have been a very plain sweater and made it a lot more special.
Here's the back:
And of course, the REAL reason I wanted to knit it?
So it might confer upon me Jedi mind-powers for when difficult or demanding people come around, expecting me to do things for them I cannot do.

It looks great, I've never seen that sweater before. Congratulations! Mmm, love that chestnut color. I love those ultra alpaca heathers.
Heh. If that Jedi powers thing works I might pay (quite a lot) for a sweater like that. Oh, it's a great looking sweater even without Jedi powers.
Hi, sorry about misspelling the horsecrab.
Kenobi is looking great, but I think as good as you look in it, it will not make you invisible...
