Mainly, I am working on the Paper Dolls sweater. It’s incredibly cute, but there is a lot of small gauge stockinette before you get to the colorwork part. I am making good process, but I felt the need to stop and do something different, so I gauged. The yarns are, from biggest to smallest, Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky, Second Time Cotton, and “vintage” Spinnarin Cashmere Plus. I would really like to make a cardigan out of the Cashmere Plus (from a garage sale), but I think it’s just a bit too fine. Maybe I’ll hold it double, or maybe I won’t have enough yarn to do that. I’m thinking of Audrey in Unst or Peyton, both from Twist Collective Fall 2009. But, the stuff is so soft and lightweight—maybe it wants to be something lacy?

Hi Dorie,
just like you I am working on a lot of plain stockinette at the moment and LONG for the interesting part to start…
Your swatches look gorgeous, all of them.
I love the yarn you’ve chosen for your Paper Dolls!
