I present to you...
The Moorish Patterned Pullover from the Winter 2003 Interweave Knits:
I'm using Cascade Pastaza in Teal Heather and Granny Smith, size 9 needles.
I bought all this at Amazing Threads last Friday. Their sale was seductive, as was their sample of this sweater hanging in the store. I was midly interested in knitting it until I saw their version (using the Pastaza, but in grey and light grey), upon whence I had to have it. This yarn, although heavy, is heavenly soft.
As you can see, I needed a massive amount of yarn - 8 skeins of the main color, 3 of the contrast color. Though, I'm hopeful that I may have some leftovers that I can return.
I started on Saturday, then realized on Sunday that I had twisted the cast on and had to rip out 6 hours of work. Oh, well. It went faster the second time and I'm at the easy, relaxing part now. Before too long I'll be back at the attention-sucking part!
You'll see four skeins of K1C2 Tartelette in Mauve up there as well; I want a poncho out of ribbon yarn, dammit, and I shall have one! Three Kittens has a very cute, classy pattern that I may go back and buy. I'll likely have to buy size 15 needles as well, though. *le sigh*
