Stripe Happy!

 

I finished the body of Ravello Five!  I'm going to weave in ends before I start the sleeves, but I hope to get those started later this week.  I don't have very many ends because I carried the yarns down the side instead of cutting them between stripes.  This is the first time I've done it this way and it not only saves time, but also yarn, since I'm not giving up those few inches at the beginning and end of every stripe.  Those can add up on a stripy sweater like this one!

I also updated my notes on my Ravelry project page for the Space Mermaid to try to clarify how I did it with two colors.  I think that with my notes and the original pattern, it should make sense now, but feel free to PM me (it's easier to reply directly on Ravelry than here on the blog) if there are any more questions.
