I finally got a pic of Vance's sweater. Here it is:



I used 12 balls of Lion Microspun for this, and knit it with the yarn held doubled on size 9 needles. It was a pain in the butt as the yarn would split, had knots, and didn't like being wound into a ball. It did turn out really soft tho. I knit this without a pattern, but used the Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns for a guide in shaping the neck and sleeves. A really basic drop shoulder with 4x4 rib, and I think he even likes it.
