A Packer Sweater for Henry

Henry's family are Packer fans.    Very big Packer fans.   My sister Helen asked me if I would make Henry a Packer sweater.   Helen never asks for much, so I said yes immediately.   This project has been in the planning phase for awhile.   Several patterns and ideas have already been discarded.   Last fall I bought some Encore DK for this project...the colors were right and it worked for the pattern I was thinking about at the time.   I am ready to work on this a bit more...and cannot find where I stashed that yarn.   Aggravating, but really no matter.   I have changed the pattern I am using as the base.  The new pattern uses a finer gauge yarn.   More yarn has been ordered.

To get the Packer logo, I used KnitPro.   KnitPro is great graphing software.  I hate sketching things out and with KnitPro there is no need.   I have a pattern, I have a graph, I have plan:  now I just need the yarn and some time.....did I mention this will involve Intarsia?
