Color Me Excited
I had class last night so I didn't get home until fairly late, but even my fatigue could not keep me from swatching for Audrey. I am so excited to get started on this, and the excitement is made even greater by the little community that has been established here for us. To join in on the color conversation, I have selected Pool (summer 2003) as my color of choice. Like Theresa, I am a blue girl. Most of my clothes are either blue or purple, with a bit of pink and red added in there occasionally. When it arrived, it was a bit more teal than I thought it was on the color card, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. Here is my swatch, which I think is a fairly accurate portrayal of the color...
I do have a question, though. I am looking at the pattern to see what size I should make. I haven't made too many fitted garments (my only sweater has been a hoodie and then I've made two shells), so I'm not sure which size to choose. I am right at a 36 inch bust, so does that mean I should make the medium (36 in.) since it's fitted or the large (38 in.) so that it's not too fitted? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Looking forward to knitting along with each of you! Now, where's that chocolate?
looks like Tiffany box blue to me -- how appropriate!
Posted by: jena at April 2, 2004 09:00 AMHi Sarah, I think the sweater should be fitted. It will get elesticity through the ripping and the yarn is stretchy, too. I think the sweater would lost its charm if it looks loose on you. Have fun knitting!

What a fair lady you'll be in that tiffany blue!
