Thank you ALL for your Avalanche of Attention!

I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you: there is no chance for a pattern! I really do prefer to spend my free-time on experimental knitting and NOT on writing.
So, - NO PATTERN, sorry!

Well, have you expected this? I’ve been dreaming about Perianth for a long time. And now… I just want another one! Stranded cotton, hmm? My favorite madness!

Almost done. Well… I’ve knitted 3 sleeves and 4 (!) collars. Is it finished? NO! Last version of the collar is still not exactly what want. So my pullover is in the washing machine now, let’s see what it turns out after that.
And yet no one (except me) knows what is hiding underneath. I’ve dealt here with one of my big obsessions for the past year (or two).
Big surprise will be revealed soon!

CO: 128 (=8 x 16);
Increased every 4th row until the first (semi)floral hit.
+ a lot more increases before & after the splitting for sleeves and body, until the latest reaches 324 st.
Because 324 sts. (6x54/pattern) - is the main Floral hit.
That’s the idea.

Any swatches? Yes, I swatched enormously. For 3-5 days I only swatched, and swatched, and then swatched again; just about any time I was free to do so. Am I expecting any troubles now? Well, I sure do: cotton is my best friend, aka (the?) biggest enemy of every wrong stitch.
