This is 1 pattern repeat.
This is about 10 more.
All in all, I have to do about 18 repeats for the edging of the back of the sweater, and repeat the same thing for the front of the sweater. However, I noticed that I don't really like purling with this yarn, so I will be tweaking the pattern a bit, and making this in the round instead of pieces. So this means that I have to do 18 more pattern repeats, seam it all together, then pick up the stitches on the edge for the body of the sweater. Wish me luck!
This yarn is very delicate, but once you get the hang of it, your knitting speed goes back to normal as if you were knitting a plied yarn that wasn't so fuzzy. I am more comfortable with it now, and I am not as scared of the project as I was before.
I went to a Knit+Wine event on Sunday, and was only able to make it through 1 pattern repeat. It turns out that after the delicious Reisling I had, I was forced to squint to see the stitches. LOL! As if I didn't know what would happen. No worries, I had another project with me that was easy knitting. I didn't have to look at what I was knitting at all!

Many a good knitter have been felled by a glass of wine. Effie is going to awesome, press on!
You always find the cutest patterns. This one is downright sexy.
Good luck and happy knitting!
And about the drinking, well, you may whine while you knit, but you can certainly wine when you dine.
