I've been working on this for a couple months, I bought the yarn at the end of last year, and have slowly been making progress on it.
So far it has been a bit frustrating with knitting this odd edging from the pattern (12 rows) that wasn't in the pattern photos and not liking it so ripping back and starting over. Then the stitch counts were inaccurate for the body which required some math; not difficult, just a pain. Then the chart for the intarsia is really small and not clear and so I've had to start over that part on the back twice. I'm about half done with the back bowels can't wait to clear the intarsia section. Knitting while caring for young kids is challenging enough without having to redo work because of the pattern.
Oh well, I know he is going to love it in the end.
