The bulk of my Kool Kardi is done. I'm going to go ahead and weave in ends and seam up the underarm seam. Then block it. I just haven't decided how I want to do the closing and the neckline. As of right now I'm leaning towards a wide 2X2 collar and a 2X2 rib button closure. However, I'm leaving my options open until I HAVE to make the decision.
I have to say that I am shocked at how well this yarn turned out. I was really concerned about the colors pooling (since I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to dyeing). I did alternate 3 skeins at a time for the body, which may have help to prevent pooling (the sleeves just have two colors).
I also have to say that the Ribby is a perfect pattern for the hand dyed yarns... I think the side ribbing really looks cool with the multi colored yarn.
Might spend the rest of today with Patrick the 2nd while I enjoy a beautiful fall Sunday (football/baseball/knitting/YAY!)
I love the colors that you used. Your a natural at dyeing it seems as it knits up really beautifully.
