Description

Yes it is me in the picture.
For those of you whom doesn't know, Marius is the name of the fair-isle pattern around the chest, and it's a national treasure and a big part of our knitting tradition here in Norway. The last year, this pattern has become very popular once again here in Norway, and in the summer of 2012, they released a book with patterns for clothing with it. It's an amazing an beautiful pattern made by the knitter Unn Søiland in 1953 for a Norwegian comedy movie called "Troll i ord" which is a term we use here, almost like "be careful what you say, it might come true".
The main actor in this movie, and also one of the persons wearing the first sweater with this pattern, was Marius Eriksen, and that's where the pattern got it's name.

I startet his one in the fall of 2012 and finished it off right before christmas so that I could use it for family dinners and so on. I'm quite pleased with it.

This is lovely pattern. Could I have the name of the book or the pattern, please. I would love to knit one for niece. 
Also is it knit in the round as one piece? It looks like it. Thanks
