KAL Krazy

 On the same day that I found this orphan Lite Lopi in my stash Mason Dixon Knitting hosted a KAL for a sweater using the very same yarn. It felt like a sign.



It's for the Stopover sweater by Mary Jane Mucklestone and I really, really wanted to join but I have too much going on to commit.



 I didn't have enough Lopi in my stash for a whole sweater anyway and trying to buy more was not easy since Reynolds doesn't make it anymore. You can tell how old mine is by looking at how much I paid for it.



This is what you pay for it now and they call it Lettlopi.



In a moment of insanity, I went ahead and bought what I thought might be a match in a quantity enough for a vest.



This one to be exact but I can't start it until I finish at least one of the vests I am already working on-or can I?

    I say go for it. One can never have enough knitting projects going on at any given time!!! That's my philosophy. :-)
