I've got this yarn sitting on the middle of my cutting table. My intention was to sell it, but the more I looked at it the more I realized I wasn't quite ready to let it go. It is a cotton blend and I have 726 yards and it supposedly knits to a gauge of 3 1/2 stitches per inch, although I haven't really tried it yet. I am sure I can do something with this, but I haven't spent enough time to figure out what it wants to be.
Should it be a cardigan? A pullover? Something lacy? I suspect the first step is to play with some swatches.
Although I have other things to work on and those UFOs are still calling my name. Some swatch play may be in the works.
Do I want a pu
Pretty, yes, but it looks like it would obsure any stitch pattern. Nice big gauge, though--it would knit up quickly. It could be fun to play with for a while. I'm sure you'll decide what you want to do once you start swatching.

Pretty -- I like that tweedy, nubby, texture and the mix of colours.
