When I bought my birthday yarn, this project was what I had in mind. Birthday Yarn from The Yarn Mart! Starting the bottom of the sweater in September. Blocking made easy with stretchy yarn. I bound off with a size 8 knitting needle due to my tight binding off tendencies.

They are very well-loved and well-used and definitely brighten up the dining table.
