I have been absolutely enjoying working on this project. The combination of colors makes me happy, and the yarn has been a dream to work with. I am particularly tickled by the way my granny square shoulders turned out. From the little yellow nuggets in the middle to the sparkles in the fuchsia, they are just perfection.
The main color green yarn is as soft to work with as it felt in the skein, and it has beautiful stitch definition. I ended up using metal needles for this which was a great choice - like buttah! I’ve been using my lovely rosewood needles for everything so I forgot how slick and quick these metal ones are. I have made a lot of progress with very little hand strain.
These photos were taken on Sunday and I am all the way down the back to where the arm holes end and the body will be joined in the round when the front is done. Time to pick up stitches on the front next! I’m really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
