Update (9/19/11) - got bored with ‘round and round’ so I used a small ‘scrap’ ball to do the keyhole neckline. BLEH! I think I’m going to redo. It’s too big at the top (Pattern says to cast on 3 rows before picking up along the neckline and then do 3-4 before grafting together) and the grafting was harder to match up without twisting the i-cord.

The cotton dyes are Dylon brand (not Tulip as perviously stated…)

I dyed the individual pieces of the sweater I ‘recycled’ - top was teal/aqua, middle was grass green, bottom was sky/china blue (looks more purple-y than I’d wanted).

If I had to do-over I’d mottle the blue a little more with drops of green and/or teal so that it would blend better when starting a new ball. Live and learn.

The cotton is wonderful quality - the sweater was from a ‘name brand’ mall fashion store. I love to get a ‘deal’…
