I got this yarn to try out at Let's Knit store in Gardena. The store was nicely stocked with yarn but was also nicely cramped and suffocating. But lena and I still managed to spend an hour there. She got some nice gold paper to fold cranes while I got the silky wool by elsebeth lavold. Who can pass up a yarn with the name silky wool right. I thought it'd be the perfect yarn for the Garden cardigan. I would just have to double the strand and since they didn't have needles bigger than a 13, I had to use that even though gauge calls for 15. I'm hoping it will work out. It was very hard getting used to working with such huge needles since I've been working with size 2's for socks. Right now I have about 5 rows left then have to graft up the under arms and find some buttons for it. Can't wait !
