I finished up Chart 1 this morning, with 10 grams left of skein 2 (you can see the remains sitting on the shoulder of the dress maker dummy). I'll switch to skein 1 soon. I'm not sure when I'll get my additional yarn to finish this, but I already have my next project picked out. The yarn came last week.
This is Bare Naked Wools Confection Worsted. Bruce was surprised when I pulled it out of the bag because it is natural (the color is Nougat) and I usually go for color. I ran across the quintessential over-size cabled sweater - what I think of as a "car coat" - on Ravelry and simply had to make it. The pattern is
Vendange by Anne Hanson and it is just a classic. I thought about doing it in a Spirit Trail Fiber Works yarn so I could make it in a color, but I think it needs to be done in a natural wool color.
I haven't forsaken color completely. I also received my yarn for my next test knit.
Pacific Sunset on Tinsel Toes. But I think I'm going to use this to make another Open Eye Tunic - using the 2 left-most skeins for the panel inserts and the other 4 for the body. I have a set of Silverlode on Luxe that I think I will use for the test knit.
