What the Cat Woman Did with the Kathmandu

I got (most of) this yarn from Threnody a couple of months ago. I had to augment the purple with the remainder of stock from the LYS common to us both, then had to order two more balls (same dyelot even!) from an internet supplier when I ran short *again*.

What the Cat Woman Did (what the kathwomando) with the Kathmandu:

started this a good week before I started the aran and would havehad it finished first but I ran short on purple. As a result thissweater went into a holding pattern pending more yarn and I startedthe aran.

So while it would appear that I knitted a whole sweater this week since finishing the aran I did *not* in fact accompish that feat. I did reknit the Kathmandu from the underarm up, then add the neckline and sleeves. At 3.5spi that really wasn't much knitting hehehehe

Bah, sorry the pic doesn't show up for you. I'll get some of me modelling tomorrow (terminal cuteness, even on me) during daylight, some one of them ought to be good for you.

Same here on the purple! The green isn't something I'd normally choose for myself, but it works with the purple thanks to the tweedy flecks of pretty much every Kathmandu color running through both yarns. I think it would be exceedingly difficult to put together two Kathmandu colors that *don't* work together, but ya never know.

And yeah, 3.5spi with that yarn on Addi needles was an experience akin to chasing greased pigs: mighty slippery, and mighty fast. I actually had to use some of that SortKwik stuff on my fingertips to be able to keep a grip on the yarn and needles while I was knitting, as just plain old lotion wasn't doing it.

The sad thing is, the mfg recommends nearly 5spi for the stuff, which I found to be stiff and unattractive fabric. Much nicer at my loosey-goosey gauge!

I love Addis but noticed some yarns are more slippery then others so switch to wood or plastic. Ok I don't know what Kathmandu is so will do a search sounds like interesting yarn. I like Noro yarns but not how they feel.

My guage is usually off by 2 needle sizes....I knit loose.
