Green!

I just got 4 skeins of this gorgeous yarn from Sundara Yarn (I am signed up for their Luxury Collection, a surprise in the mail for 3 months, yay!)  The color is called "Slip Slidin' Away" and it is so pretty.  A bit darker than the picture.  And so soft, an alpaca/silk blend.

I don't usually go for greens, but this really is very pretty.

I have 1200 yards of this green loveliness.  What to knit with it?  I will need to find a special sweater pattern.  Maybe not a Weldon's crazy Victorian sweater, so I may have to cheat on my commitment to ONLY knit from Weldon's this year.  Don't tell.

And I found the sweater I want to knit with this yarn:
"Hallett's Ledge" from Twist Collective.  Oooh, I want to cast on RIGHT NOW.  Must resist until I have finished my plaid socks and the tea cosy I'm making for Piecework Magazine...

I know! and YOU could knit it for yourself, Zaids. It would be adorable on you. I'm hoping it will hide some of my stomach pooch.
