I have this sweater I can’t get out of my head. I think I talked about the pattern when I was stash diving awhile back. It’s Radiate by Joji Locatelli. After letting my options marinate for awhile I decided that none of them really made my heart sing. So I swung by my LYS the other day and they had a few skeins of Merino DK left from Hedgehog Fibers.
I ended up gravitating towards a variagated speckle kind of color. Its called Deep End but the jewel tones just CALLED to me. And I thought they served as a nice pop with a black background.
And it passed the contrast test in a black and white photo. Yay!!
I of course didn’t know how much I would need of the contrast color because I haven’t swatched to know my gauge. So therefore I bought both skeins they had of this color. Only logical right? I mean extra Hedgehog yarn can’t be a bad thing?
I have a few things I need to clear off the needles and then this sweater might jump my arbitrary and only in my mind knitting queue!!
Happy knitting!!

Wow! Beautiful choice of color. Look forward to seeing progress pictures and the final product. The pattern is in my queue now, too. So cute!
can you remind me about the black and white test please?
It helps determine contrast. Sometimes yarns can be close in value and when next to each other “blend” and the second color doesn’t pop out
Lovely yarn!
