intro...

Hello! This is the first KAL I've did with all y'all Sexy Knitters, and Sahara looks gorgeous. I've got a year-and-a-half year old son, so I'll be doing it without the beads (would that be a co-ed naked knitting T-shirt? Knitters do it with pointy objects?) I didn't get knitting done this weekend, so I'll be swatching up my yarn tomorrow. I'll be using Carron SimplySoft in a lovely burnt red for my Sahara. It's acrylic, but I really like the way it feels. Anyway, can't wait to see everyone's gorgeous sweaters!

Ooh, that's gonna be so cozy. I love the way that yarn feels.

I hope the Simply Soft works out for you. I knit a top using it a couple of years ago and found that it didn't breathe. I loved the design, but in the end there's only certain temperature conditions that I can tolerate wearing it in!
