Wow, does my camera hate this color. I actually can watch it "adjust" to a crappy color (I did try my best in Photoshop). Either way, I'm not digging my stitch definitioin.
October Frost (an other fab pattern from A Fine Fleece) is more of a jacket style sweater (at 16 sts to 4" and fairly long). I wanted a lighter weight yarn to keep it from being too heavy. While I love the Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair (in Raspberry), I'm frogging it. I'm just not getting the kind of stitch definition that I like. I might look into some Beaverslide yarn to knit it...
...but I figured I need to finish up a project in Beaverslide already started:

Again, love the yarn, but I pushed the limit a bit on gauge. To get the 18 sts to 4" for the pattern, it's a really tight knit. However, the yarn is just beautiful, and definitely something I would consider for knitting October Frost.
Don't worry, I've already looked thru A Fine Fleece and I've got several other options for my beautiful raspberry Mountain Mohair.However, the color choices at Beaverslide is killing me. Can't decide what I want to order!!!
Edit: When enlarging photos, don't bother trying to knock off the dog hair on the projects. Doesn't seem to work at all.
