Second Quarter Knit Along!

April 1 meant a new quarter, which in the ESK Yarnathon means a new CAL (Craft A Long - knitting and crochet inclusive).  This quarter's theme is Indie Hand Dyed Yarns, so we have to use yarns that are hand dyed by small companies but we can make anything we want!  (Insert Snoopy style happy dance here.)

I've decided to start with a pullover - the Sous Sous pullover.  I'm knitting it in Yarn Love Amy March DK in the Orchid color way and I'm off to a pretty good start on the back so far.  This is knit in pieces (I can't remember the last time I knit something in pieces) and yes, it's really wide.  I'm knitting the smallest size and it's going to be a very oversized pullover.  I love the cables and seed stitch (moss stitch?) combination and it really is knitting up nicely without using too many brain cells, now that I've done enough that I can see the pattern.  Since this is hand dyed yarn, I am alternating skeins, but I'm alternating at the side edge, so the carried yarn will be caught in the side seams.  I'll do the same for the front.
