We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend. On Saturday we drove up to Shepherdstown WV for a fall festival. The weather was perfect. I grabbed some sock yarn and started a new pair of socks while I sat in the sunshine and listened to bluegrass music.
Yesterday, though, I needed to start something a little more long-term. My mom’s shawl is finished, and I seamed the pieces together on Rich’s sweater and just need one evening for a collar. I have had some Kureyon marinating in my stash for a few months. I often use Ann Budd’s Handy Book of Sweater Patterns along with my stitch dictionaries. I am starting with some basic ribbing. The last time I did a sweater in the round with Kureyon, I ended up frogging the entire thing after the body was completed because the stripes were too narrow. I re-knit, using multiple skeins that I re-wound in order to get similar colors together. I will be doing the same thing on this sweater.
This colorway does not have as many wild shifts in color as some of the other Kureyon yarns, but the close colors still have lots of subtle variation.
