The stuff dreams are knit of
I actually had a dream I was making a sweater. Kind of amazing, since a.) I live in AZ. b.) I haven't finished a garment in over a year.
I'm pretty resolved to rip out my Classic Elite premiere (pima tencel) coral Hourglass sweater. The length is wrong and it needs to be be reknit so the decreases are in the right place. Who knows if that will happen?
The stuff of blissful night time reveling?
The Bedjacket from Knitting Lingerie Style, of course.
It's been ages since I purchased a sweater's worth of yarn, and I'm hesitant. I'm considering substituting the self-same Classic Elite Premiere for the pattern yarn, which is wool and cotton. But I know it will have tons more drape and softness, and I'm not sure how that will affect the overall look of the garment. Opinions?
Obviously, I am not in love with that color, either. It would be nice in the coral, or a nice sagey or pale apple color. I think it needs to stay in almost the same tone, it would lose its vintage appeal and detailing in a darker color. Other color ideas for my skin tone? I can never find the right shade of pink, either.
