That's my own pattern, knitted in Sirdar Indigo Pure Cotton Denim DK on 4mms. I had 500g, and I've one full ball and a few bits and pieces left.
And I love it! It's easy and sexy and soft, the perfect long-sleeves for summer. As soon as it warms back up again, I'll wear it tied loosely over waistless dresses. And I'm going to take it with me in August when we go to Portugal to stay with my girlfriend's cousin: I'll shove it in my bag when I'm wearing sandals and a long patterned maxi-dress, and then pull it on an hour or so after sunset, as we sit out drinking local wine and listening to the crickets and talking rubbish. The indigo dye is also supposed to face and change as it gets washed, so the lace pattern will become more pronounced.
Definitely a success!

It's glorious.
It would be great to see some 'aged' pictures in a few months.
Ooh it's gorgeous! Clever lady. I love the way it drapes, and it suits you beautifully.
I am planning on knitting seamless set-in sleeves on a project in the future... I can't decide if this is genius or madness. The end product will show me either way, I guess.
that is one awesome looking sweater!!!
