Alpaca Swatch

Here's a swatch for a pending project. My husband wants a sweater, and he picked this pattern from a Kaffe Fasset (sp?) book I've got. I was surprised he wanted something so colorful. I've never done an intarsa project. I picked up Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, and I thought I'd attempt a raglan sweater. If I can pull it off, the angle of the arm/body decreases will work well with this pattern. I'll make it work. It is going to be 100% alpaca. I told him that he must always remove this sweater prior to eating since he tends to fling food every where while dining.
