Work in progress

This is a sweater I am knitting. It is worked in the round and is a Norwegian pattern which I am knitting in Icelandic wool (the recommended wool is sold in Norway only - no export). The pattern on the back is identical to the front. It is a challenge as every row is pattern and has over 300 stitches. I have completed one sleeve and started the second and the body is ⅔ completed. The beads were added as my own modification - to the front only - as I thought they went well with the peacock's tail and crest.
