Testers Wanted for Lopapeysa

I am calling test knitters for my new round yoke seamless sweater. This pattern knits up in Aran weight yarn and is suitable for knitters, who have some experience with stranded and circular knitting. For more info and to volunteer, head to my Ravelry group LaKalinka knits.

Pattern information: This sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up to the underarm, then joined to work in a round yoke. Short rows are added to shape the neckline. The sleeves and body are separated and worked in the round.
