FINALLY starting something new from the 'Planned' list. This is Columbia from Dale, but instead of using their Ana, I'm using some thick and thin fabulousness that I got at NHS&W back in April. I don't mind telling you that while I'm pretty hard core in love with this, I have some concerns. The primary one being, well, bulky yarn. I didn't know about the dangers of bulky yarn on the less-than-sveldt frame when I bought this stuff.
Even knowing that this is most probably a disaster in the making, I'm unwilling to part with the yarn, or alter my decision to make this sweater. Really, they couldn't have made me a more perfect colorway for me even if I had special ordered it. But yeah, I may not be a Sumo Wrestler, but I'm not Kate Moss either, so there's a very good possibility that this will be somewhere on the south side of flattering.
Luckily, it's all completely public, so at least I'll have some good blog fodder.
