This is the sweater I'm working on out of Jamaica (all cotton yarn). I made some hats out of Jamaica for the girls and a friend undergoing chemo last summer. They liked the yarn, so I went and bought 4 more skeins which have just been sitting around. And I had found this cute pattern that I've been meaning to make for about a year or so. Got tired of the shawl, finished the valentines and cast this on. It's a pretty quick knit. The only question is: will it fit? I sized it down a couple of sizes and then read on Ravelry that it's too wide on almost everyone who made it . . . . Miss S is trying hard to convince me it should be for her, so I sure hope it will fit her . . .Sunday, February 3, 2008

I love that yarn - it actually has enough of each color that you can see it. I get tired of variegated yarns that give you only a couple of stitches of each color.
ReplyDeleteI love the color combos you get with this yarn. Most of them are bright and cheerful and the differences between the colors are pretty stark.
