Half done, a week into it, and nobody wants to play along on the crochet-along forum so I'm checking in over here! I'm really liking this (even if I have had to redo many rows because I can't remember to turn after each row, forgot to read the pattern, or otherwise make dumb mistakes). I've used 4 of my 8 balls of yarn (Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo, 80% bamboo, 20% wool). I figure one more ball for each sleeve and two more for body. It feels great on; very cushy, springy fabric, comfortable and just enough stretch/cling to look good.
