Ideas

I came up with this sketch for a summer sweater:

And I really like it. I'm still trying to stick to knitting things I'll actually wear, and I think I will wear this. No, I haven't worn Fleur very much, but she's still too short. I need make her long enough to cover my long torso, or stop wearing low-rise pants.

Now, it would be unusual of me to not completely overthink my yarn choice. I know I want a cotton or a cotton blend, sport weight or finer. I'd love to use a fingering weight cotton/silk blend, but I don't know of one and it could be pricey. More practically, I'm considering Hemp For Knitting Hempton Medium, Brown Sheep Cotton Fine, and Heirloom 4-ply Cotton. At the moment, I'm leaning towards Hempton.

P.S. I graduated yesterday!
