It's a really rainy day, so this is the best I could do with the available light.....
I did two swatches. Initially I was going to make the body hugger raglan from The Purl Stitch, but in this colorway, IMHO, the 2x2 rib washed out the perfectly faded jeans color and obscured the rainbow. Sort of cloudy looking. The addi turbos were not the needles of choice, this time. Once I switched to clover bamboo circulars and made the stockinette swatch, I knew I LOVED it. Cue the angelic choir....this stuff is heavenly to knit.
Oooooh, it's so pretty. I'm afraid I'm going to want LOTS of Kersti sweaters. Blue is my favorite color....hmmmm. Can't wait to see the sweater (or to start mine). Just lovely, beautiful...you can see it's heavenly.

yummy, yummy, yummy. That's the perfect color for K1. I might have to cave and get me some Kersti for her. It's all a ploy you know. Can't justify it for myself. Make it for someone else instead!

The Kersti is beautiful! And so much prettier swatched than in the hank. What color is it? It would look so gorgeous in a top-down raglan, or almost anything. I just might have to add to my already outrageous stash.

The Kersti is going to be beautiful!
Sorry to hear it's still raining and/or gray in your neck of the woods - as Al would say :) -I hate to rub it in but it was another awesome day here...if I could bottle it and send it to you I would!
Saw your post about FI...I'll email you either tomorrow or Monday...I'll be more than happy to share what I know.
