This one, also from tops, is Polwarth / Corriedale. The purple is indie-dyed Polwarth from Freyalynn's Fibres, the grey is naturally coloured Corriedale from P&M Woolcraft, and the pinkies are dyed by me to go with the others, Corriedale tops from allinaspin on eBay.
Friends tell me the pic doesn't do the colours justice - and I think they're probably right. I call it my Cumbrian Winter Sunset jumper!

Thank you everyone ;D
I have been motoring on the knitting, as I wanted it done before lambing started and ideally before Feb Guild so I could wear it. I did just get it finished, washed and dried in time for Guild on Saturday!
It's mainly stocking stitch, with just a bit of fancy stitching where seams would be if I weren't knitting in the round. I mostly knitted it on my very long 3mm pins using my knitting belt - and I have to say, I can knit pretty fast that way!
It weighs a smidge over 500g and I knitted it over a period of 6 weeks.
