Christmas mystery sweater

First time I have participated in a Mystery Knit on Facebook. Enjoyed it, but a little stressful. Happy with the result. There were competitions along the way, I won once with the picture below, got yarn for my next sweater!

Yarn: Viking Sportsragg

Pattern: "Julemysteriet" Booklet 2238 from Viking Garn.

Nord alpaca sweater

This is the Christmas present I made for my son.
Pattern: “Nord” from Sandnes yarn. Booklet «Tema 51 Norske ikoner»
Yarn: Puno from Rauma Yarn
The pattern calls for "Fritidsgarn" wool yarn, but he is very sensitive, so I chose to use alpaca instead after recommendations in my local yarn shop. My son is between size M and L, I knitted him and L with this yarn, but ended up a little smaller than desired. He will hopefully use the sweater anyway, he is spending the next 5 months at Svalbard; an arctic island.
