Reynolds Lite-Lopi Vol. 19 Design # 9

What better way to start my shameful project of documenting my stash as a means of hopefully making me knit from it. Here we have a Reynolds Lite-Lopi pattern book. I just had to have it! yeah, right, ok. Did I mention I live in the south? I need a lopi pullover maybe once a year around here. Of course I special ordered the yarn, cause it's not like there is much demand for the yarn around here. hehe, the store owner was kind enough to order it, nevermind that meant ordering a bag of each color (10 balls per bag) for a pattern that required single skeins.

See I feel in lust with this pattern, and didn't bother with the particulars such as:

• even though pattern book says Lite-Lopi. The sweater is not lite-lopi!
• the sweater is a pullover, I've been trying to figure out just where I might be able to divide the pattern repeat to create a cardigan. lol!
• This sweater is knit using a combination of Lopi and Lite-Lopi.
• Lopi is single strand.
• Lite-lopi is double stranded.
• It gets worse. The Lite-lopi is using color blending to create the gradual change in color. So in one row you can be using 2 strands of the same color, and then 1 strand each of two colors together to create the next shade.
• Hmmmm, wonder how this project died before it even hit the needles?

Feel free to comment.
