Orchid Pullover - Finished

I've been home from work yesterday and today trying to kick a cold that I picked up on my trip to California last week.  Fortunately I had some simple knitting to do as my brain was definitely not up to knitting lace.  I finished up my Orchid Pullover.  This is the January Flower of the Month from Fiesta Yarns.

The pattern is a top-down raglan, from Sweater Wizard.
The yarn is Gracie's DK in Orchid from Fiesta Yarns.  70% Extrafine Merino, 15% Silk, 15% Cashmere.
Gauge - 21 stitches, 29 Rows = 4 inches on US 6 needles

Orchid Pullover - Body Done

I finally finished the body of my Orchid Pullover.  This is the January Flower of the Month Colorway from Fiesta Yarns.  The colors are more subtle than some of the previous offerings.  They remind me of spring and Easter.  The subtle colors make for some interesting variations in the overall presentation of the colors in the knitting.  Because of the fairly short color runs they reinforce each other and appear more vibrant in the back and forth knitting of the very top and in the ribbing, but for the majority of the body they blend together.  The difference was striking enough that when I started my third skein on the bottom ribbing I thought I must have gotten more than one dye lot.  It will be interesting when I start on the sleeves.  I suspect the colors will appear more vibrant there as well.

The sweater pattern is a simple top-down v-neck raglan, I used Sweater Wizard software.
