A couple years ago I picked up some wonderful Adrienne Vittadini blue silk / linen yarn at the JCA sale. Tonight I swatched it , it matches Gauge perfectly. Last year I bought a cone of beautiful heathered blue wool/ silk ( very similar to the Lavold yarn). It also swatched perfectly for the same pattern. Decisions. I’ve switched needles on the Summer Tweed. First up my black ebony, then the addis, and finally… the winner, tho’ I still do not like working with this yarn… the Aeros. Who’d have thought?
It’ll be a very early morning, a trip to CT for a funeral. I’ll get some knitting done in the car, time to pack up and get some sleep.

I’m kind of fond of Aeros myself. They have their place. And I’m glad to hear that someone else really doesn’t like Summer Tweed. I had just a few skeins but I gave them away because knitting it just wasn’t pleasant for me.
For which sweater are you swatching? Tell us all 🙂
