I planned to take these photos and blog about the set last weekend - and then it was 38 degrees both days, and I couldn't, in good conscience, ask Leon to put on his cosy winter woollies and pose for photos in the blazing heat
I was a bit concerned about that, since the pattern as written has cable twists every row, but in the end I think it worked out. I particularly like the way it looks on the back. It did turn out that I didn't need to be rushing around getting another ball of the 4ply. In fact, the set only used 60 grams of four ply for the hat and mitts, and 200 grams of 8ply for the scarf. I like the yarn - it is very, very soft.
I do still like the colour, even after knitting with it daily for a month, but it is also a very even dye. I know that's what you want when using commercially dyed yarn, but I'm really glad that the project after this is hand dyed, tiffany blue sparkle yarn.
