The Knitting Tree

Well, we were in Madison, WI this weekend so we went to the Knitting Tree to look around and get some ideas for this KAL. I found a gorgeous yarn....bought a skein to see if I like it for this sweater or not. Why spend $14/skein if you hate it for this project, right?!? So far the swatch is coming out huge on the called for needles, so I will swatch again tomorrow on 6's and see how that looks. They told me it would be a great substitute, now I am wondering if that is so. It is beautiful--called Clip and is a shiny/shimmery RED--like look out here she comes kind of red. But my DH really liked it (I had thought black or deep blue/purple). Will let you know how it goes. :)
