summer sweater knit along - my yarn & pattern reveal!
i can hardly put in words how excited i am to start the summer sweater knit along! see that pic above....that is my yarn!!!!!!!!!! squeal!!!! yep...yummy isn't it! it's been very, very, hard to not cheat and just cast on. after i did my swatch all i wanted to do was knit, knit, and knit! it's that gorgeous and really...my pics don't even do it justice. it screams summer to me and the tones are just scrumptious. i kinda just want to eat it...in a non weirdo way...lol.
