So I never pulled the trigger and ordered the yarn for Girasole... I'm thinking maybe I start that late summer in preparation for next winter...
In the meantime, I have a fast developing new obsession - Vivian (ravelry, pattern). As is often the case, I love the color it's shown in, except that it's called olive and looks a lot more aqua on my screen so is probably not true to life. Also the specified yarn is not readily available in the US anyway. I'm thinking of using a worsted merino and knitting a size up... I love and am comfortable working with merino. I can't really find the right aqua so actually, I'm thinking,,, pink! Of course, I already have my pink Sundara FSM that I'm planning on making Tempest (ravelry, pattern) with. What is it about pink right now? I think I'm just longing for spring,
Of course, the question is, could I possibly finish this sweater before it's too warm to wear it at all? And is this a crazy pick for my first "real" sweater?
