Irish Moss, and This Time I Really Mean It

This is Irish Moss using Jamieson's DK in the Pacific colorway. I'm knitting the large on size 4 needles, which should give me a finished underarm measurement of 42-43". This is two pattern repeats. It goes fairly quickly so I'm hoping to finish it before it's too warm to wear it. We'll see how that goes.
It's not purple but I do love the color. It looks like a denim-y blue from a distance but up close you can see that it's two plies of slate blue and one of aquamarine. There's a little bit of red in there too.

I'll use the Jamieson's Worsted for Aranmor, also from Aran Knitting by Alice Starmore, and the Rowan DK has been returned to the stash for some future project not yet determined.
