2nd stab at this sweater in purple for Alex. These 2 yarns play fairly nice together after a bath and some serious abuse…I hope I am brave enough to do the same to the FO but the more abuse, the softer these yarns become and that is what I want. The stitch definition melts away but I think it will still be OK. The sparkle is very subtle after the baths/dryer too. (GAH! I need to be brave and toss the FO in the dryer? SO GOES AGAINST THE GRAIN but I need to do it to get what I want out of this!)

While knitting it’s a 14.5 st/4” and the 8 row repeat is 5”. I am hoping to get 16 st./4” and 8 rows 4”. (it’s 40” wide and I need about 34” to 36”) and 6.5 repeats, from the top of the shoulder when folded flat, otta be what I need for length.
