Second Fair Isle, Slip Stitch and Intarsia Sweater

This is my favorite sweater so far.  I designed it to feature silhouettes of our family cat and my daughter's two cats.  I drew their pictures on grid paper, then transferred the design to a spread sheet for use as a knitting pattern.  The border patterns are a combination of slip stitch and Fair Isle.

Julie likes the sweater and models it here.  She is a college professor and finds that there are days when the central heating does not work in their building.  The sweater should be cosy!  I finished it in June 2006.
