Ravello Five

 

I've completely finished my fifth Ravello pullover!  It's knit in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Onyx and Hydroponic.  This is the first time I've done stripes all the way down but I really like it for a two color Ravello.  After knitting five of these, there's not really a lot to say.  Obviously, I like knitting this design and the finished pullover fits into my cold weather wardrobe really well.

The only thing I did differently with this one (other than the stripe pattern) was to carry the yarns along as I worked.  I just twisted the yarns at the first of every round so I wouldn't have to weave in so many ends.  Once I figured out how to manage the twist and tension so things didn't get weird, it was much easier and faster than dealing with all those ends.  It also saved yarn.

Please don't ask how I managed tension, it was a lot of trial and error and I'm not really sure that I did it right.  I have yarn for another one of these so maybe I can figure out what I did better on that one.  Then I'll explain it if I can.
