hot knit knitalong

A bunch of the Ewe Knit regulars have been discussing doing the Audrey sweater from Melissa Leapman's Hot Knits.

I just looked up the yarn used; it is Lion Brand's Kool Wool. I don't want to use Kool Wool, but the specs are: in st st, with size 10.5 needles, 13 sts and 20 rows = 4". So, as soon as I return from the conference, I'm going through my stash. ;)

Audrey's been on my list from that book… I used to own a cardigan almost exactly like that. Just can't find the right wool.

I'm thinking Baby Alpaca Grande or "Granito" by Trendsetter Yarns. What do you think?

I'm allergic to alpaca, so I vote for the Trendsetter.

I am so sorry. Alpaca is one of my favorite yarns to work with... soft, silky, very drapey, but it is a pleasure while on the needles...at least for the non-allergic.
