"What Will I Be?"

Stash. It's a word some people love – others, not so much. Me? I don't have a lot of stash. But what I have tends to lurk in the back of my mind. Asking questions like, "What will I be?"

It was like that with some Remix I had. Remix is from Berroco. It's a great machine washable, non-wool. It is tweedy and the colors are nice. It sits on the shelf in the store calling to me. So, awhile back I bought some. Orange. Nice. And then it sat in my closet.

So as I scoured over the patterns that we carry I came across the Big Sven Sveater by Cottage Creations. Looked good. A little bit of color work to make it interesting.

So, I chose some good colors that worked with the orange and what it resulted in is a super-cute, snuggly sweater for my youngest son. He says it's his new favorite sweater. I believe him... I think you will too.



*I did grab the photo of Remix from the Berroco website. If you would like to see the colors you can look there or come on in the The Yarnery and we'd be happy to help you choose some good colors for your very own Big Sven.
