AGH. This is the third time I've tried to post this.
Anyway. I did the stripes differently from the pattern; I figure that's the beauty of handknits, you can customize them the way you want to. I'm planning to do the rest of the body in black, with maybe a single stripe of colour near the bottom. I'm a little concerned that the neck will buckle at the back, but it didn't in the pattern, so maybe there's something I don't know ... I haven't managed to try it on yet, since the prospect of putting ALL those body stitches on a holder and then getting them back on the needles is daunting.
Although the prospect of knitting the entirety from scratch might also be pretty daunting, so ... well, we'll see.

All the knitting looks great! The stripes look good, perhaps you could try it on without putting the stitches on a holder.... guess it depends how long long the needles are. Looks like a lot of work...I started a first pair of socks this summer but got a little bored...perhaps I need prettier yarn like yours.....
