I need help in more than one way, but today's appeal is to anyone who has Stitch 'n Bitch Nation.  I have been in a bit of a knitting slump lately, with not much time to knit and not much to look forward to after I finish my shawl.  But when I was browsing through the knitblog world the other day, I found the Lucky Clover Wrap Knit-along and decided that this sweater is JUST what I need to welcome spring.

In case I haven't mentioned it before, I live in the middle of nowhere.  Fancy knitting books like this and good quality yarn are hard to come by, but luckily my mom and dad are coming to visit me in *less than two weeks* so they can bring along a few necessary items from home.  The book is on its way, but it isn't in my mom's hands yet.  Since I have bombarded her with a long list of ridiculous requests, I thought I would try to exploit the kindness of knitbloggers outside of my family this time.

To owners of the book, would anyone be able to tell me how many skeins of Rowan 4-ply this sweater calls for (in a medium) and what needles I need?  The karmic rewards will be many.  Don't do it for me, do it for my poor mother (who will probably run out and get said yarn and needles because she is the best).  THANK YOU!!
