Almost done with Paulie

I literally have 4 more rows and the ivied bind off.  So already done with this!  I can't wait to try it on and block it. 
I made bread (http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/6788/amish-white-bread) this week so we're having French toast ...

Paulie no stripes

So, my flow for this year is one color or cable project, one straight knitting project and an option to do socks. 
I haven't posted about my straight project - Paulie (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/paulie). 
It's made from knitpicks stroll heather twead in Autumn (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Stroll_Tweed_Sock_Yarn__D5420150.html) which is lovely for garment knitting-soft with a nice hand. The pattern calls for stripes but with all the slubs, I thought that was too much.  
I like it. Need to see it on. 
My on deck plain sweater is Dinah (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dinah). It's a great pattern, but it seems like the execution is tricky. Or yarn choice?
