I started another new sweater (or two)…
This one’s the Tree Jacket from Zephyr Style. I’m using The Fibre Company’s Terra, which is just a fantastic, fantastic yarn. As others have noted, though, it’s pretty spendy. I got this batch on sale : )
The irregularity of the yarn, both texture and colour, work really well with this pattern. Unfortunately, I don’t have a heck of a lot of yarn – I only have seven skeins of this colour (Acorn) and then three more of a light blue.
I think this is how things are going to play out, based on how far I’ve gotten with two skeins: three skeins for the yoke (maybe a little less), then one skein for each of the sleeves and the remainder for the body. So when I run out of yarn on each sleeve, I’ll start the cuff in the contrast colour. Hopefully the body will end up long enough! The lace in the body should stretch the yarn a little farther.
In other news, Dr. Steph gave me this:
