Tweedy Myrtle. Tweedy Joy. Tweedy love.
This is the back of Myrtle, almost finished. I really love this yarn and the simple stockinette stitch along with the seed stitch...beautiful, simple. Love. I have also begun the sweet simple yet elegant sweater Joy...I only have one thing to say...sweet. And I think it may take at least a year to whip it up. Teeny weensy, itsy bitsy. But lovely and sweet. I am one happy knitter.

A swatchin' I will go
I knit a swatch last night for this sweater. I loved this sweater the first time I saw it, I love the cables...I am finally not intimidated by the pattern, after knitting many patterns from charts, I am ready to tackle this one! I am using some Tahki Donegal Tweed from my stash in this yellowish-greenish color yarn with yellow and brown flecks of color (color #838, discontinued)! The yarn is a little thin at times, kind of like Noro's silk garden, but I think it will be the perfect yarn for this sweater! It is not too bulky, will be kind of airy. I am going to try it and see. The gauge is a little off, but I think it will be o.k. if I knit the 38 1/2. We will see.
