Finished Green Gable!

I finally finished something this summer! Green Gable. But, I can't take a picture because it's soaking in a bucket with vinegar and water to stop the dye bleeding. Hoping to have that all resolved today so it can be blocked and photographed.

Now working on Magknits Ballet Camisole. This one is slow going, even though I'm using 6's the yarn is a sport/dk and I can knit for an hour and only do an inch.

Still trying to come up with a sweater idea for my Knitpicks Sierra. I originally bought it for Knitty's Starsky, but I don't think I want to make that anymore. I want a pullover with this yarn, any nice, not overwhelmingly cabled bulky sweater ideas? Book, free, magazine, I don't mind.

I did a pattern search at woolshack.com. Maybe you'll like one of these.

christina, thanks for the link, I've never heard of them. I did try a search and they don't seem to have any women's patterns for bulky yarn.

But I did like several of the other sweaters, I may have to get a Debbie Bliss book!

Sorry, the link didn't take you to my search results. Scroll down to the pattern search by yarn weight and select Ladies, Autumn/Winter, and a tension range of 12-15. (The Sierra should knit up to 12-14 st per 4".) Good luck!
