This gorgeous yarn was a Yarndale 2014 purchase, which I had originally intended for Stasis but on swatching I changed my mind. I think Stasis needs something more tweedy or rustic. Instead I just about managed to my measly 300g into one of these instead.
This project taught me that in generally, but particularly with a slightly variegated yarn like this one, I really must alternate skeins. There’s no pooling but far more white patches in the yoke (first skein) than the rest of it. Well I can see it...
As I was low on yarn, I shortened the sleeves and had to cast off with another grey sock yarn because I ran out. I think it looks alright though.
I’m a total convert to blue faced leicester. It’s amazing. Light and soft as merino, but not so pricey.
This is a totally gorgeous pattern, though at times the instructions felt slightly more wordy than they needed to be, and I ended up not referring to it very much once I got into the swing of it.
Thunder is a great name for this purpley grey colour. I'd say it's truest in the photo where I have my arm across my chest. I love the purpleness it seems to develop in shady spots, though.

This is a wonderful cardigan, I totally fell in love with the pattern. You're right about alternating skeins, but in your case it's not that noticeable - I only saw it after I read your note about the yoke. Great work!
