4 skeins of Madeline Tosh Twist Light, a basic sock yarn, plied, not a singles. Simply Socks had a kit (and you know I rarely buy kits, but this was perfect). This is the first time I've used sock yarn in a sweater, and now I know how to work with it. In sock knitting, you want nice tight stitches, but not drapey like in a sweater. I will use sock yarn again.
I love all of this sweater. Mods for the next time: shorter sleeves and body; this thing grew in the blocking. I would use the basic shaping again, but put in my own patterns. The yoke was fun, the sleeves and body, endless, but I expected that.
Me, attempting to hide my old lady tummy (with no success at all). I'm not going on a diet. Piffle.
Thanks, Bishop Stone! I love the fade very much.
