Being the joiner that I am, I knit this baby up. Not only that - but I talked to my LYS about hosting a cast-on party and got a bunch of people to knit along with me.
While I didn't finish my sweater in 4 days it took me closer to 6 weeks, but finish it I did.
Stats:
Cast On: July 2
Cast Off: August 13
Yarn: 4.2 skeins of Brown Sheep Prairie Spun in the honeycomb colorway
Needles: US7
Mods: 4 sets of waist decreases and 6 sets of increases for my hips. 3x1 ribbing at the neckband, cuffs & front bands to match the hem.
I did not add buttonholes in the bands and I'm so glad I didn't. While the sweater does close around me, I wear it open - All.The.Time! I'm so glad I made this sweater and I want to make another using the pattern lines with a cabled design.
