Here is an updated picture of my finished Riddari:
And a PS to Sue, who commented about the large size of her own Icelandic sweater: in all fairness, I may have chosen a size that was too big. So many people knit successful colorwork yoke sweaters, myself included, that I cannot really conclude what made the difference. All I know is that it now fits perfectly!
PS to Chloe: I wouldn’t call my sweater black, either! It is the darkest green, blue, blackish, navy? It is just deep and complex!! Like the Galaxy after which it us named!
Beautiful work, as usual!

Keep meaning to mention how I love your color combo. Personally I find it both refreshing and cosy at the same time. I think it’s that particular exact shade of navy. Combined with the woolly texture. Aren’t we lucky as knitters to achieve these effects!

LOL. Of course , AFTER I commented I went on Ravelry and saw that the color was really Black (as were your previous photos). Oh, how monitors lie! Now I I am on a hunt for “that” navy! (But your Black sweater is still a beauty.)
