This sweater looks fabulous, I'm feeling a "me, too!" I want to knit it myself! I'd go with the stripe in the back, just so it's more of a challenge. I think it would look cute from behind.

Which would you rather knit? By the time you get through all of that ribbing, will you be itching for something more interesting? I think it would look good either way. Which would you rather knit?

I can`t wait to see something knitted out of it. I am a fan of the plain back too. The ribbing is already so eye catching plus it is going to make the turtleneck look really tailored. My husband who is looking over my shoulder, is voting for plain back too, claiming that colorwork on both sides will have a shortening and widening affect (I thought I would throw just a little bit of guy opinion here :-).

I vote for ribbing all the way up. I think the stripe in the back would look odd if it isn’t on the sleeves. I vote for ribbing all the way up.

I don't think it would look weird or bad to have fair isle on the back, it would just be (to me anyway) an unexpected surprise. I vote for ribbing only on the back. Unless you start itching to do more colorwork, in which case, have at it. I've got the yarn book on my Christmas wish list. If I don't get it over the holidays, I'll just have to buy it for myself later. ;) I would have guessed the sweater would have a plain (ribbing only) back.

I think I would probably prefer a "plain" (since the ribbing at the bottom of the sweater is anything but) back!
