1 of 4 skeins of Dream in Color Classy in “Happy Forest”
I love when this happens. I wasn’t expecting this to arrive till the end of the week, and then my cheery postman knocked on the door this morning with a box for me. Kind of a bad move though seeing as I’m way down to the wire working on a chunk of my thesis that has to be handed in tomorrow so I really didn’t need such an alluring distraction. Not that that stopped me. The writing still awaits, and instead I swatched. Like, instantly.
Swatchface. Heh heh.
My plan, and the reason I ordered this, was to join in the frenzy that has slowly been picking off knitters the web over, and knit the February Lady Sweater, but now I find myself having doubts. I’ve already cast on, however, and I’m way too indecisive to give in to these doubts so I will most likely keep knitting until it’s kind of too late not to continue, and then eventually end up with a finished cardigan and just never wear it. It’s the least rational, and therefore most likely, outcome. What can I say, that’s how I roll.
Had to include a shot of the receipt for my order because it cracks me up that someone wrote “Enjoy!” on it. Love that. And I have truly taken their advice to heart.
Now, I really really have to do some work. Really. Someone make my knitting decision for me, ‘kay?
Oh, I think that yarn is just perfect for the sweater? Very similar to the one that Pam at Flint Knits used, and hers looks fab. I think that semi-solid yarn seems to work really well with the pattern, and Dream in Color yarns are always even more beautiful than I had hoped they would work up. I say stick with it, especially since it’s a top-down design so you can try it on as you go and see how you like it. Good luck with the thesis too!
I love this colour so, so much.
I love the color. I so want to knit that sweater but I need to find the perfect yarn first. Good luck…ENJOY!
