Thank you all for the encouragement I went ahead and ordered the wool to see if I like the colours, if I don’t I have a friend who will take it so I am not risking much.
@Ploshkin i like the black too and would instinctively go for that usually but I am trying to wear a few different colours now.
@LeilaMay the one I have just finished is blue so that colour was out
I have recently made another jumper which is similar and actually if anything the neck is the bit I am not sure of so I think I will probably alter this one a bit. The neck is quite low and I don’t think it could give you that choked feeling But I feel it is a bit insubstantial for a fairly heavy jumper.
I want to get it started as I know it won’t be a quick knit.
