As long as you get the recommended gauge (very important!) and it is considered an aran weight yarn it should work fine.<br />I know that can be tricky sometimes.<br /><br />good luck. susanSusan B.

How many skeins did you use? I like that you lengthened the sleeves and body a bit and suspect I would do the same.
