Smooth sailing
Here is the Berroco Touche in Green Tea, swatched into Bead Stitch and Four Sisters. For the top swatch I used U.S. size 8 needles, as recommended on the ball band; when I first looked at the yarn and ran it through my fingers, I thought size 8 needles sounded big, so I first tried U.S. size 6 needles (the bottom swatch). That's not a color change in the bottom swatch, just a shadow. I like the results better with the suggested size 8's, so that's what I cast on with for the pullover.
And then I took my knitting and set sail with the family for Nantucket. Next post I'll have some photos from our island weekend, but for now, suffice it say that I got some knitting done in some very pleasant surroundings!

The Vespa Hat is a fun, quick project-- and fun to wear, with earflaps to keep your ears warm, a loose fit to prevent the dreaded "hat head," and an optional ponytail hole. Ear flaps and back of neck are worked flat; after front stitches are cast on, hat is worked in the round. See more patterns
