My Newest Infatuation
Yes, I know about the drawbacks of big yarn without much twist (both from a fashion and maintenance perspective). But I really really really want to make this in the Marble colorway (or perhaps I should say colourway, since it's from Colinette). I should probably know better (this sweater certainly wouldn't be popular with Stacy and Clinton or Trinny and Susannah), but I love the tunic shaping and the neckline.
I have never really been drawn to Point 5, but ever since first seeing Shimmer 5 on Marie's Blog, I have to admit I've started stalking the Internet for the stuff.
Yarn stalker. Yep, that's me.
You can see the lovely Shimmer 5 colorways here
And the other designs in from the Shimmer 5 pattern book here.

(Actually, Colinette seems to have had a small explosion of new pattern books recently... you can find some of them here)
I'm a stalker, too! I love the raglan in that pattern book - soooo snuggly. Good luck finding the shimmer!
Make it.
I am making a sweater with this type of yarn and find it fun and beatiful!!! I wouldn't want all my sweaters out this but one for variety is fine.
Enjoy!!!
What a nice cozy sweater that looks like!
How many skeins are needed for the sweater? Would you like me to order some for you? I love enabling!:-)
This yarn looks yummy! Sweaters are beautiful, too. Any info on yardage requirements for these patterns? I've googled myself blue.....
Your knitting is truly amazing. Loved your multidirectional scarf so much, mine is almost complete. :D

Where do you order your colinette from? I've noticed a huge price difference between U.S. and U.K. sites like Kangaroo and Bobbins. AnnHB
