Stitch Whimsy

So this is my newest project on the needles. I only cast it on last night.

This is being made from 100% cotton by Peaches & Creme that I got in a pound cone from a Raveler. My mother got the pink cone and was already happily making things with it the day I gave it to her.

The cotton has similar stitch definition to the bamboo/wool blended yarn in the photo. I already took out half the number of cables that the pattern calls for, as well as the style of cable. I also did this on circulars instead of straights. I am not fond of the way the seam shows in the picture and wouldn’t want to see that in my own shirt. I will make a few other changes to it and see how it turns out. I hope it comes out the way I think it will.

I am still boringly fussing with the Whisp scarf/capelet/hoodie thing. It’s just BORING. 17 repeats of the same stitch blocks. My brain goes numb just thinking about it, but it will be drop dead gorgeous when it’s all said and done.
