Ariannah's Knitting Journey: For the Yarn Voyeurs

Isn't it purdy? I'm going to make a sweater with it. It's a nearly 1200g cone of what I think is Rowan Donegal yarn. I purchased it at LK Yarns.

I want to know more about it! Pretty please?

Thank you for the extra info! Where'd you find it? Is it a thrift store fine?

Cool yarn!

Dat's a *BIG* cone of yarn! All I can think of is how few ends you will have to weave in later! =o)

Wow, this looks incredible! Can't wait to see the sweater you're going to knit up with it!

I'm with Nicole - think of the lack of yarn ends!

Not exactly portable knitting :) - you could get a backpack or a wagon, though....

I knit the mister's sweater with that yarn. Make sure to do a swatch before you knit, that stuff fluffs up like you wouldn't believe.

Now that's one BIG ball of yarn! What are you going to knit with it?

I should be more specific: do a swatch and wash it well. When I knit the mister's sweater I didn't wash my swatch so when the finished project got a bath it grew about 2 sizes.
