stash expasion: I think I'm in over my head with this one!

Oh no!
What have I gone and done now?

Yes, it's a doozey.
you start on that bias strip that goes from the hip across to the shoulder.....to the cuff. The other side is knit up and down by picking up stitches from the bias side. You then do the neckline all the way to the other cuff.

Anyone have any suggestions on yarns?

The pattern gives more of a suggestion to aim for on gauge then an actual measurement. It asks for size 6 needles. So I can use 2 strands of fingering weight to knit with. Lots of color play can happen, combined with textures. Varigated combined with a 2nd strand of itself or with a solid. Same color different fiber content. etc.

I remember in the past that there was an online source for grab-bags of (nice) yarn. Anyone remember them? Help....
