RYC Cashsoft DK in Clementine. I had originally planned on using this for a pattern from "Knitting Nature", by Norah Gaughan, but decided I really didn't want to do a complete cabled sweater right now. (I already have one on the needles.) Anyway, I did get gauge with this yarn and I did knit up to the yoke, but the yarn doesn't look too great on US 8's. The gauge called for US 6's on the ball band, so...I will be knitting the sweater on 6's. The problem? I need to modify the pattern to get the right size. I'll start tonight and see where it takes me! Friday, August 10, 2007
One Thing I Know For Sure
is that this will be the yarn I'm using for the sweater:

What a lovely color....
I really like the color you chose! I was going to pick out a pink myself, but decided to go with purple instead. I LOVE that yarn, though :o)
Great yarn! It looks really soft-looking foreward to seeing your FO
Isn't that yarn fantastic? I bought some in red recently and feel like I could just pet it all day :) Best of luck with the gauge! Can't wait to see how it turns out.....
Depending on your size & gauge, is it possible for you to go up a size? Then you wouldn't have to adapt the pattern...
My apologies if you have already tried that.
Gorgeous color - I was petting it at the LYS yesterday...
