Here is how the Berroco Zodiac stitches up on size US8 needles. This knits up very fast and has a very nice drape. My only problem was that it was snagging on my less than smooth fingers. It was very frustrating at first, but I figured out a way to fix this..... use a nail file to buff my fingers. Yep, that works, plus I have nice soft fingers now! LOL

I was able to get the suggested yarn "Berroco Zodiac" at an awesome price, so I decided to try the popular "Wren" pattern. I am hesitant about making myself a "sweater" because I quit sewing myself garments years ago. The reason - Fit! I seems like whenever I finish making myself something, I don't like the way it fits. I am sure I will be dissappointed with this finished project, too. But , hey, I just might be surprised. hummmm. I am making this in a size L and hopefully it will fit. My bust size is large so if it doesn't quite work, I guess it could be worn open. If all else fails, I have a sister who could wear it. LOL!

So far the pieces are knitting up very quickly. I have never used a pattern yet that states: AT THE SAME TIME. The front shapping uses this terminology. I know this will take some pondering to get through, so I will ponder away.
