My next project: a nice green sweater

yes... I know I'm kind of obsessed with green...

I've worked on a bunch of sweaters. I think I have 3 WIP's (Works in Progress) upstairs in various stages of completeness. I do plan on finishing them at some point.... just not at *this* point. Really, I do.

But, I need something new -- so, for my next project, Di and I found this great green yarn. It's Cascade Yarn's 220 Superwash wool, Color 891 (it's pictured in the 5th swatch down). It'll be soft to wear, and easy to wash. I think it'll make a great sweater.

The only tricky part is that this yarn is 4.5 stitches per inch on size 8 needles, and the pattern calls for 4 stitches per inch. So -- instead of making the medium, which would normally fit me, I'll make the large -- which should work down to being the size of the medium, because of the smaller guage yarn.

I was a good girl and even made a yarn swatch:
