Knitting Rescued from Obscurity

What happens when you take this box of yarn...
 
 
 
And add it to the pattern for this sweater?  
 I shortened the sweater in the picture. Can you see where I cut and taped it back together? I just like shorter sweaters!
 
 
You have an amazing thing happening!
 
Unfortunately, this piece of artwork has been sitting in storage for WAY too long. I have rescued it from obscurity and began to work on it again. I know I probably won't be wearing it this winter but I am interested in getting back into fair isle knitting action, inbetween the quilting time! :-D  Hopefully, I will not let go of reaching the finishing line this time.

@skinn62 and Maggie - thanks! That's why I need to finish it!

@Sandie - you can start with something small like a coaster or a 6x6" swatch. It's not scary after you get practicing!
