we are going to get along great! So far I’m loving the long-ish torso, the yarn, the color and (in my opinion, the chocolate sprinkles on the whole thing) the cowl!!! Yes, I’ve become completely obsessed with knitting Francis Revisited.

This sweater is knit at slightly looser gauge (the pattern calls for a gauge of 4sts to the inch). I’m getting approximately 4.25 sts per inch, but, this ultra alpaca grows – alot. I’m thinking I will get gain about 1/2″ to 1″ in width/length with blocking. And, as if I needed anything else to love about this knit, it’s knit on size 10 needles so it’s practically flying off the needles.

Saving the best for last….. the cowl. At least that’s the plan right now. Just get me through the sleeves.

Let’s see, what else. Oh, yes, I’ve been busy at the dye pots.

Bethie – Cashmere Bulky

Blueberry Buckle-ish – MCN Fingering

With All Respect – Merino Superwash

Chronicles – Merino Superwash
