Just an FYI for those who pop in here and might be interested in making something stranded.
Going along the theme of a stranded jumper/sweater, I'm putting in a link to ravelry to show you how to use it as a tool or a 'library' of sorts if you're ever looking for something specific to knit and/or crochet.
The parameters I selected for this search were, 'knitting', I chose 'free', then under clothing I chose 'pullover', colour work I chose 'stranded' and for age I chose 'adult'... oh and 'has photo'.

These can all be found down the left hand column when searching patterns. You could go further and select the ply of yarn to narrow your field further.

HTH.  :)

@Mocarroll My mum made me a similar jumper when I was a student.  She did it in natural pale wool but the pattern on the yoke was done in a variegated (ie, multi-coloured) yarn, which simplified the process but gave the impression of intarsia.
