I love the sheer simplicity, the rhythm of stocking stitch....yes, it's a lot of stocking stitch!
When "yarning up" for this project, I knew I wanted the shade "Treacle" but I didn't have enough in my stash for the project. I had 4 and I needed 7! So what's a knitter to do! Well, you go to your LRS and buy some more! I'd had my stash of Treacle for a while, so of course the new dye lot didn't match....solution? Buy 4 of the new dye lot and do two rows of each...alternating them throughout the project. The result is a subtle stripe effect...nothing obvious...but you know it isn't just a plain old knit!
I LOVE IT!
Should I add the optional cowl? I've worn this a couple of times now, and I think the cowl might be nice. I have enough yarn (in a mix of both dye lots) to do this....so you might see an update soon!
haha, love your husband convo!
