I completed the Starsky last week, but I only got around to taking a picture today. I really like it, and given the chilly weather we have here in January, it’s nice to have a really warm cardigan.
I think the Starsky will also be quite nice as a spring/fall jacket It’s certainly warm enough. The bulky wool/alpaca blend of the yarn is very nice.
I used Cadena from KnitPicks, and 4.5 mm circular needles (4.0 mm dpns for the belt). I had to go down a lot in needle size to meet gauge

It was a fun knit. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the cables moved both on the right- and wrong-side rows. I wish the sleeves had had cable-work as well.
The final measurements for Mystic Light are:
height: 97 cm (38″)
width: 206 cm (81″)
I would also like to share how much yarn I had left at the end. Out of the 650 m of yarn I started with, I was left with 5 m at the end.
I would therefore caution anyone knitting this to not go slightly under the yarn requirements, in the hopes that I was exaggerating.
