Made a swatch on 2.5mm needles

Swatch gauge: 27.5 st = 4” and 46 rows = 4”
(in regular stockinette stitch)

Gauge is larger, so I’m adjusting stitch count so it’ll be the correct size

Ribbing Gauge in US 0: 32 st =4”

Made it down to Section 7 and my Granite yarn transitioned from grey to ivory. It’s a really unsubtle change, and it looks like all of my skeins are a little like this. So. Now what? There’s gonna be big wide bands which will really clash with the colorwork.

Maybe I can take out all the ivory and wind it into a separate ball…

Yup. Wound up all the Granite in stash and took out all the ‘Ivory’ sections. Now I’m just hoping I have enough. Knitting it up this way looks much better.

Didn’t have enough Granite for the full sleeves, so I’m attempting half sleeves.

I’m very happy with half sleeves! Kinda wonder why any of my sweaters have long sleeves.
