A new shortie

I’m trying to switch over to cotton yarn instead of cotton/bamboo. The bamboo part of the yarn isn’t holding up so great and I want to see if mercerized cotton will do better.

In a quest to find a yarn I like I ordered cakes/skeins of different all cotton yarns. I bought a cake of Symphony Dream just because of the colors. Then I had to find a yarn to match it . . . you know how it goes.

The yarn I found is Tahki Classic Cotton. It’s a bit pricey, comes in hanks, has a beautiful sheen and has a nice range of pretty clear colors. This particular blue does a lovely job of matching.

The plan is to use the accent cake of yarn to create a V front and back . . . like this.

I’m on my second frog back. I started the shaping for the V too late and the accent yarn continuity would be disrupted by the underarm shaping/sleeve split which breaks the plan.

I’m frogging back to fix the problem.
