I can’t think of a good title.

This color is impossible to photograph accurately, but these photos are a lot closer to what it is like in person than the picture on my previous post. It’s a strange shade of pink, but I’m fond of it. I wanted to make this sweater in a coral color, and this was the closest color I could find. It’s surprisingly hard to find really bright shades of solid color sweater yarn that aren’t red or blue.

I finished a sleeve over the weekend and started the bottom band. I think I might have all of the crochet work done by Friday at this rate! I need to start hunting for a zipper. It’s unlikely, but I’m really hoping that I can find something close to the color of my sweater.

    Love this! My first and only crochet cardi was a complete disaster :(

    Zipper!? I’m starting to totally love this design! That sleeve is fab, and I love the way it’s styled in these photos.

    That looks great so far! I am hoping you will have a pattern available when you are finished.

    I’ve been searching for the perfect coral colored yarn as well. The best I’ve been able to come up with is a MadTosh color – Espadrilles, although it’s not quite the shade I’m looking for.

    I love it so much!

  7. I’ve noticed that about solid colors too. It was frustrating last summer when I was trying to make crafty things for our wedding and I couldn’t find the right colors anywhere! Anyway, your sweater is looking really cute. Can’t wait to see it finished.

    I have a YKK color card/book that I can bring on Monday to PurlyGirls if you want. If you find a color you want you can order a zipper from Zipperstop or somewhere.
