New Knitting

So...what do you do with seven skeins of Tahki Classic Cotton in teal? You make this. This is the Rusted Root sweater by Sarah Johnson and Rachel Bishop. My Sarah and I were at Twisted Yarns for their after Christmas/before inventory sale. Sarah saw this pattern and fell in love with it. Then we had to find a yarn for it.
Here's a close up of the leaf detail. I still have about 3 or 4 inches more to knit on it, but it has gone quickly. And of course, it will need to be blocked. I'm still not really sold on cotton yarn, but for our climate it should get more wear, and Sarah really liked it.
