My Gemini Pullover designed by beautiful Jane Richmond is coming to an end! With a few glitches here & there..I learned that yarn can differ in color based on it's batch number. When I originally bought my yarn, I picked four skeins that came from two different batches. Realizing this too late in the beginning..I just couldn't bring myself to frog so much for such a minor issue, me thinking..."will someone really notice, my slightly different shade of green sweater???" hmm. But as I came to the bottom this morning & started with the last skein of the different batch, I noticed too much. Luckily, I was able to nab the last #8469 of this "moss green." & run for the door. I didn't get out of the store without picking up a few new skeins of "naturally caron; silky soft bamboo blend" black.
I have my eye on "Roxborough Doman" by Courtney Kelley..found in "knitscene's spring 2012 issue." Yes, I got a copy. I've started the swatch for gauge & so far, so good. No stripes for this one, just black! You can see it here.

Living in Ohio, the evenings are never as they were in NC..going outside to a nice & cool 80 degrees. I do like the summer nights here. So I'm excited to add some light weight knitted sweaters for my summer attire.
