I finished up skein 4 mid-week, and finished up skein 3 this morning (which may seem strange until you remember that I started with skein 6, so I'm working backwards through the set). I like the way that the striping changes depending upon how many stitches are in the rows. This is a feature of all gradiance and striping yarns and there has been a lot of work lately on controlling that with careful pattern selection, but I have no desire to control anything and I like letting the yarn express itself.
Now I'm done with the lace. The bodice tends to go pretty quickly. I'm thinking of using one of the sets that I bought for Peter Pan for my Spring Dress. The Tinkerbell colorway reminds me of Spring. If I do, I will start with the green.
