Beauty Cotton Pullover

[Jillle]

I think this is a beautiful sweater. Perfect for spring. Anyone interested in joining me. I'm deciding on a color today. Beauty

Hey Jill,

I'm new here and have never been part of a knit-along. But I just viewed the pattern and it is lovely and I want in!

I was just digging through my stash a few days ago and found some Classic Elite Provence (I think it is discontinued) Now to see if I have enough to make the sweater or if I need to make a purchase - wouldn't that be just awful

Have you started the sweater yet? What yarn are you using?

Hi Renee,
Yay! Someone to join me. I haven't started yet. Still trying to finish up a couple of other things. But...since your are joining me, I think I'll order my yarn today! I still can't decide on the color. I'm going to order the Gedifra Beauty Cotton. It looks pretty reasonable. Let me know what you decide.

I found somehting in my stash that I am going to swatch up tonight - Berocco glace. I hope I can get gauge with that because it would be nice if the old stash actually did something oter than sit there!

The Gedifra Beauty yarn was quite tempting - especially with that great price. So...if I can't get gauge with the glace I'll be ordering some of it too.

Which colors have you narrowed it down to?

I was all over the place on the color choices. I really liked the white, but they don't seem to carry it. Coffee and Cream, Marmalade or Peony. I went with the Peony. I hope its ok, I hate too many choices.

I got gauge!!!

I ended up using Nashua Cilantro in white... I know, I'm boring and always end up doing the color in the photo. The peony color is very pretty and I'm sure I will wish I had just ordered some yarn before I finish this project. But at least I'm using up some of the stash - righr?

I'm so happy you found and posted this sweater - I would never have found it on my own and it is just the type of piece I like to knit and will actually wear. I am terrible about knitting something up and giving it to one of my sisters.

Thanks again for putting this one in the forum and I think you chose wisely with the peony.

I got gauge!!!

I think it will be so pretty in white!
I'm going to Mexico tomorrow to go whale watching for a few days. I hope my yarn comes soon. I can't wait to start!

I dunno about the white, Renee.... I think you need to wear more pink.

Very cute pattern and SO tempting but I have to finish Wicked and the pinwheel sweater before totally comitting to another sweater.

[ReneeKnits]

Kelly, thanks for the suggestion of the pink I'll have to keep that in mind

And Margaret, What's the pinwheel sweater? That sounds intriguing...
