Here's Klaralund v2.0...
Silk Garden, six skeins of color no. 203,
purchased at the Yarn Lounge (hey Stewart!) in Richmond, on the trip where I met L-B.
(of Grudge Match fame)
I love this colorway so much, I'm sad to see this sweater come to a close.
Speaking of which, all she needs is a BUTTON.
(because if you look closely, you'll notice that this is my CARDIGAN version!)
So, next up, ORANGE.
yep. No need to adjust your monitors, I am indeed knitting outside of my comfort zone of blues and greens and purples....
I hope this makes Claudia very, very happy.
wow! i'm very impressed with your cardigan. you need to take a picture of you modeling it.

The Klaralundigan (say THAT ten times quickly!)
is fabulous! What a good idea to cardiganize!
That colorway you're knitting on now is soooo beautiful! I love the orange and those fuchsia/red/pink tones together! Sizzle!

Oh, Greta. well done on the Cardi! You should check out Sheila Ernst's buttons. Did you see them at MSW? I love to use them for my cardigans because they are so organic looking and go with seemingly everything. http://www.glasspens.com/ Yeah, she is a pal of mine. I was dragged to her booth at a Bay Area show a couple of years ago and we became fast friends from that moment on.
Good for you for going outside your normal color comfor zone...it will open your eyes to a whole new world of color beside blue and green.

oh, I really need some yarn fixes in N.C. as no one in my husband's family "gets" the knitting and we spend lots of time in the WalMart in Henderson!!! Jane

I love the idea of cardiganizing Klaralund... I really want to make this sweater one day. I love the colorway you chose. Yes, I would love to see a pic of you modeling it as well! :)

I love, love, love the colors of your Klaralund! So sharp as a cardi too. I agree, I think a picture modeling it is a must.

ooo, I LOVE the idea of a cardigan Karalund!!! SO NICE! Must see it on!! And I lovelovelove your sock yarn!!! What kind is it? It's similar to the LL bittersweet, but is all solid and blend-y instead of stripey!!
