The yarn is a bit thinner than I had expected, but it's very fuzzy, so it fills in nicely. Hopefully this will keep the sweater from being too warm. I had to go up to size 4 needles to get gauge. I didn't have a pair of circular #4's, and I was already considering buying the Knit Picks interchangeable set, so I thought this would be a good time to go for it. But, before I could order them, my (very!) DB brought over my birthday present: a set of Knit Picks Options, along with some other really nifty knitting accessories!! What a keeper! I swatched right away and got gauge. Here is my progress so far:
The needles are fantastic, by the way. Anyone who likes addis and hasn't bought a set should definitely try them out. This yarn is a little splitty, but the nice sharp point has prevented any problems. I think this is going to be a really fun project! I'm so happy to have gotten started!

Oooh, I love the colors! And it's always nice to see someone brave enough to take a leap and create a new color combination. I can't wait to see more pictures when you get to the fair isle section!
Your colors look great!! The ribbing goes pretty fast, and you'll be doing the fair isle in no time. I started mine yesterday, and it's loads of fun. Can't wait to see your progress with the color changes!!!
I love those colors! I wish I was brave enough to switch it up, but alas, I stuck with the green.
good color choice!
I was torn between blue and green because I love both.
I like to see what the blue looks like.
I love seeing the all the yarn subs!
Ooooh - I think that fuzziness will look amazing! Pretty :)
