Let me introduce you to James.....
Yes, James has come undone. I was just not happy with this sweater. The knitted fabric on the body was much more stiff than the fabric on the arms. The arm fabirc draped much more due to the inclusion of the non Kureyon yarn. I suppose I could have just knitted the arms in a different contrast yarn but the love for this sweater was just not there. I do love working with Kureyon though. I think this sweater would be nice done in Silk Garden as I think it would have more drape to the knitted fabric. I did learn how to seam a sweater. This was the first adult sweater I have knit flat, in pieces. I feel liberated.
I have been swatching for "Hugh" from the Rowan book A Season's Tale. Here are my swatches done in Peace Fleece in the color Ancient Fern. I have a huge order from Peace Fleece on the way.
I love working with Peace Fleece and the knitted fabric is heaven after a nice warm bath.
All for now........
I saw those cable swatches and said "Ooh!" out loud. They look great in that yarn. Your sweater will be gorgeous.
