So my husband wants a sweater. I’m still settling on a pattern, but it’s going to be a simple v-neck pullover in a cable and rib pattern similar to my nephew’s sweater (which, by the way, now has a sleeve attached. Did I mention I hate finishing?). I’m trying to decide on a yarn. So far the yarns in the running are as follows:
Vittadini Trina
Filatura di Crosa Zara Plus
Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran
and last but not least, Jo Sharp’s Silkroad Aran. I can’t decide here between a tweed or a solid.
I figure I’ll knit the sweater using 8/9 needles. All of these yarns fit the bill. I’ve knit with both the Cashmerino Aran and the Zara (well, the DK Zara) but all the projects have been blankets. I enjoyed both yarns. But, I’m really looking forward to trying the Trina and the Silkroad. Both have gotten really good write ups on Knitter’s Review. I just hope I can find some in my LYS. Not that there aren’t a million of them in the city, but still, I’d love to find all the yarns in ONE STORE. Don’t think it’s going to happen though.
I think he wants a navy color like my nephew’s. I’m sort of sick of blue, which is why the Silkroad Tweed is sounding nice. Spice things up a little.
