This sweater wound up being inspired by Mr. GreenJean found on Knitty.
I did not realize that I did not need to cable every rib until well into the project, on the urging from my husband that is did look good, I decided to leave it as a design element.
For more details you can take a look at my Ravelry Page if you are a member.
I am using US 9, 8 and 7 needles on this project
9 = Body
8 = Cables Ribs
7 = Will be for the button band.
Because I am working at a larger guage than what the pattern calls for, I was able to go down a sweater size. So far this is working out very well.
My husband will be making me a button for the sweater as soon as he has cleared up some other glass commissions.
After the Fourth Skein - Skein 5 is the second sleeve and Skein 6 will be the button band. All told I will use less than 6 skeins, but the yarn left over will not be usable for anything other than scraps or a pop of color in something else, for the sake of usability, this will be 6 skeins used on this project.
